Hazelwood Brings 'Whole New Head' to Truman Park for Free Summer Concert Series

Hazelwood’s , 7029 Howdershell Road, will be the place to be on Saturday to hear some of the best classic rock songs ever recorded. 

A five-piece band of seasoned musicians, known as Whole New Head, will be playing rock ‘n roll the way it was meant to be played and heard.  The concert begins at 7 p.m.

These talented musicians focus on playing rock ‘n roll like no other band.  Their song list includes most of the Top Hits of the classic rock genre ranging from Grand Funk Railroad’s “We’re an American Band” to ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” and Edgar Winter Group’s “Free Ride” to Loverboy’s “Workin for the Weekend.” Add in a new 8,000 watt QSC KW sound system for state-of-the-art, hi-fi fidelity, and audience members are in for a memorable concert experience.
