     Concert For The Cause is nearing the end of its summer run for this year and Saturday night was a perfect time, to move past the flash and just break out the rock and roll show.  <\/span>The band Uche and the Crash were more than willing to provide the music.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

     The band took the stage at 7:30 p.m. as the crowds began to gather, and the humid air was replaced with a cooling breeze.  <\/span>Bob Colladay introduced the band and plugged the corporate sponsors, even taking one for the team.  <\/span>Bob\u2019s a confirmed vegetarian but told the crowd he was more than willing to eat hotdogs for charity.   <\/span>Apparently most of the audience was willing to do the same.  <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/span>     Uche and the Crash got the crowd settled in with their first song and by the second song, Vertigo, the park was rocking.  <\/span>Everyone was on their feet, dancing and singing along with the band.  <\/span>As the park began to darken and the stage lights came up on the stage, it was one song after another leading into the band\u2019s version of Tainted Love, which got a standing ovation.  <\/span>Truly the crowd never seemed to sit down while the band played.  <\/span>Some of the songs were familiar and some weren\u2019t, but the unfamiliar ones are destined to become favorites.  <\/span>Uche and the Crash gave a stellar performance. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

     Then it was time for Nick McEwen and the 33 to take the stage.  <\/span>It\u2019s hard to narrow down the style of the 33 but they were highly entertaining and worth a listen.  <\/span>Clearly these guys have been playing together for a while and are well known in the area.  <\/span>Their style is very polished and professional.   <\/span>This is a band that\u2019s going places.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

      The featured non-profit cancelled at the last minute and catSnip, the spay and neuter group from the week before, stepped in and grilled the hamburgers and hotdogs.  <\/span>This organization made $350 at their first event and Saturday\u2019s event I\u2019m sure proved to be just a profitable. <\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
     Next week\u2019s concert will feature the bands 12 Years Coming and Tall, Hairy and Charming.  <\/span>The featured non-profit will be the Special Olympics.  <\/span>This is the last concert for the summer season but I have it on good authority to watch for one final concert after the Kansas State Fair.  <\/span>This will be a \u201cthank you\u201d concert and will feature some special prizes and giveaways.<\/div>\n
