Jive to '50s and '60s Music in Concert
The city of Countryside concert series continues Thursday night with a performance by the Ragtops and food from Ledo's Pizza.
Grab your blue suede shoes and your poodle skirt and hop on down to Countryside Park, 61st St. just a half block east of Brainard Avenue, for an evening of fun, music and food. This week the musical group The Ragtops will be getting you off your feet and dancing to music of the '50s and '60s.
The group's play list includes too many great songs to list, but here are a few to take you back in time.
- All Shook Up—Elvis Presley
- Fools Rush In—Ricky Nelson
- Great Balls of Fire—Jerry Lee Lewis
- Rock Around the Clock—Bill Haley and the Comets
- You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’—Righteous Brothers
There’s no guarantee the songs mentioned here will be played, but not to worry, The Ragtops' play list is filled with nothing but great hits from that era.

Ledo’s Pizza, 5525 S. La Grange Rd., will be selling Texas-style barbeque ribs, baked potatoes and chicken fingers. So grab your chairs or blankets and come out for a night of good food and good fun. Don’t forget the wipes if you’re getting some finger-licking good ribs!
The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. and will end by 9 p.m. Make sure you get there a little early to get a great spot to watch this fun act do its thing.
