The Characters Reign Over The Rain
The rock band ends the summer concert series inside the Bauer Center Sunday night.
It took two Sundays and a move inside to the Bauer Community Center, but a little rain (ok a lot of rain) was not going to stop The Characters for the fourth and final performance in the Taylor Park summer concert series.
The concert originally was scheduled for Aug. 15, but was rescheduled due to heavy rainstorms. Heavy rain Sunday caused a move inside to the community center but did little to dampen the performers and audience enthusiasm
Formed in 1982, The Characters are Danny Solazzi on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, George Messina on drums, Rob Traegler on keyboard and guitar, Frank King on guitar and Craig Colandro on bass.

The characters entertained the crowd with 90 minutes of mostly 60's and 70's classic rock, heavy on The Beatles. The Characters opened the show with A Hard Day's Night and closed the night with American Pie. It took about only 20 minutes into the show before several pre-school age fans fan took to the floor to dance. By the middle of the show, both young and old were up out of their seat and getting down.
The previous three concerts featured Street Hassle, Van Martin and His Big Band, and The Kootz.
