July 25: 6:00-8:00 pm “THE RAKES”
The Rakes are a band of 5 friends who have as much fun perfecting their songs as they do preforming them; and it shows.

Covering a diverse selection of genre jumping music a Rakes gig is a guaranteed good time. At their core The Rakes are a countryish Americana band. But as you will quickly learn they defy the "country" label. Mixing classic rock, a little soul, a dash of blues, a "90's" block and even a little hip hop The Rakes exhibit broad appeal as they truly play something for just about everyone.
