Temptations, Four Tops among acts in WHIO-TV concert series at...

The Temptations and The Four Tops, The Guess Who with former Journey lead singer Steve Augeri and Sail Rock 2013 featuring Christopher Cross are three summer concerts announced today as part of the WHIO-TV Concert Series at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering.

“The Temptations/Four Tops concert is one big singalong; the Sail Rock show takes us back with some songs you don’t hear performed live all the time; and The Guess Who — well they started off the WHIO-TV series, so they’re a special group to have return. Steve Augeri, opening for the Guess Who, was the front man for Journey a few years back when we had them at Fraze. He’s a great entertainer,” said Karen Durham, general manager, Fraze Pavilion.
