Concert announcements: a look at artists coming to the area


HOT TICKETS

Kettering's Fraze Pavilion continues to announce summer shows. Newly announced: Steely Dan, playing on 7:30 p.m. July 24, a Wednesday. The Deep Blue Organ Trio will open. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. April 27 and cost $85, $75, $65, $45 (lawn and terrace in advance) and $50 (lawn and terrace day of show).

Another big Fraze show is a July 5 (a Friday) concert headlined by Night Ranger and Loverboy. Tickets, which are selling for $32-47, go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday. The show will be a time warp to the early 1980s, when Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" and Loverboy's slew of hits including "Turn Me Loose" and "Working for the Weekend" were in heavy rotation on rock radio.

Tickets for both shows can be purchased at the Fraze FanFare store in the Town & Country Shopping Center (300 E. Stroop Road, Kettering), online at www.etix.com or by phone at (800) 514-3849. For more information, go online to www.fraze.com.
