ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY COUNTRY CONCERT JUNE 21 Regional country music group, Ridin' Shotgun will take the stage for a special Father's Day concert, on Sunday, June 21 at the Birchard Park stage in Fremont. The group's 7:00 P.M. performance is part of the city's 2015 "Concert in The Park" series, and is sponsored by Fremont Federal Credit Union. The show will feature a wide variety of classic country music, while also paying tribute to all fathers in the audience. Lead singer and guitarist, Billy Lee of Fremont said the group enjoys performing around their home area the most, and are excited to be included in the "Concert In The Park" line-up again this year. Lee, a former staff writer and artist for R.M.A. Records in Nashville said the group has been invited to play the Father's Day concert for the last several years, and are honored to be invited again in 2015. "The Father's Day concert has kind of taken on a life of it's own," said Lee. "We've done it so many years in a row now, that it's kind of become a tradition for us, as well as the city," he added. Formed in 1997, Ridin' Shotgun has performed throughout the tri-state region at many fairs, festivals, and shows. Members of the group have shared the stage with many top name country artists such as Tim McGraw, Tanya Tucker Aaron Tippin, George Jones, Confederate Railroad, Joe Diffe, Tommy Cash, Marty Stuart, as well as several Grand Ole Opry stars from Nashville, Tennessee. Members of the band include Lee, who resides in Fremont, Mike Hall of Republic, Rex Myers of Risingsun, Ken Turner, of Clyde and Dusty Rodawalt of Elmore, Ohio. Those attending the show are encouraged to bring comfortable seating. Food and refreshments will be available from the Exchange Club or Fremont.
