Sugar Ray, the American rock band led by vocalist Mark McGrath gained
mainstream fame with their breakthrough hit song "Fly" which put them on
the map in 1997. This song's success, coupled with its pop rock sound that
was quite different from the rest of their material at the time, led the
band to adopt a mainstream, pop music style. Subsequent albums shared this
style, and the band experienced several hits including "Every Morning",
"Someday" and "Falls Apart". Their success continued with the release of
the self-titled album, "Sugar Ray" that included the hit "When It's Over".
The album garnered the band its first top-10 album. Sugar Ray continues to
deliver the hits live with the Summerland tour which combines their top 10
hits along with great bands from the 90's.
Big Wave Dave and The Ripples, a Duluth based band comprised of a singer,
rhythm section, and a four-piece horn section will play a combination of
covers and originals featuring funk, soul, blues, and rock music that is
sure to keep the party going strong.
As the party continues at "Rock the Big Top" on Saturday, June 16th, an
energetic lineup will be featured that will satisfy all music tastes.
Artists will include Rock-A-Billy Revue, a band that will play a great
variety of music from the timeless hits of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's
along with hit kicking country music rolled into a fun dance party. Lake
City Smokin' Section is a high energy classic rock and variety show band.
Viva Knievel will showcase a little bit of everything with their popular
cover songs. Saturday evening will include a second performance by Big Wave
Dave and The Ripples and second performance by Viva Knievel. The evening
will conclude with the Devon Worley Band that rides their own raw edge of
