Two international guests were among the nearly 250 people who attended the Elvis Tribute Show performed by the Tom Christopher Band as part of Hazelwood\u2019s Summer Concert Series.\u00a0 One came from Athens, Greece, and the other arrived from Frankfurt, Germany.\u00a0 Both of them made a rendezvous in Hazelwood to see their friend, Tom Christopher, put on an electrifying Tribute Show that sets him apart as one the best Elvis impersonators.<\/p>\n
Jenny Adam of Athens, Greece, has been one of Tom\u2019s friends for about a year and a half.\u00a0 \u201cShe recently came to America with the intention of seeing his show Saturday night in Hazelwood during her trip,\u201d said Tim Davidson, communications coordinator, City of Hazelwood.\u00a0 Jenny attended the concert with Tim and Kym Welshan.<\/p>\n
The other visitor, Anna Lisa Mannheimer of Frankfurt, Germany, was eager to see Tom\u2019s performance and came early to get a front row seat.\u00a0 It worked to her advantage because he introduced her as a close friend during the concert and came down to give her one of his scarves, as well as a hug and kiss. He then dedicated a song to her, \u201cIn the Ghetto,\u201d which was one of her favorites.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have people coming in from different parts of the world to watch a band we chose for this year\u2019s Hazelwood Summer Concert Series indicates that we\u2019re offering our residents quality entertainment at a great value,\u201d said Pam Reynolds, facility manager, Hazelwood Community Center.\u00a0 \u201cWhere else can you take a family, or even a date, and enjoy a full concert under the stars for free.\u00a0 It\u2019s the best deal in town.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reynolds points out that the Tom Christopher Band was initially supposed to perform under the new gazebo in Truman Park.\u00a0 But with the strong storms that came through the area Saturday morning and the forecast of more rain by The Weather Channel, a decision was made to move the event inside to prevent the equipment from getting ruined and to keep people safe from the elements.\u00a0 Plans are to host the next three band performances at Truman Park, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
The City of Hazelwood is the latest to join the ranks of local municipalities that offer free summer concerts for residents.\u00a0 Bands chosen for this year\u2019s schedule offer a variety of music genres to satisfy everyone\u2019s tastes.\u00a0 The remaining three summer concerts will be performed by the following bands:<\/p>\n
July 16- Bob Kuban Band<\/p>\n
July 30- KLOSE-NUFF \u2013 Classic Hits<\/p>\n
Aug. 3 -The Chaz45 Band \u2013 R&B, Classic Rock<\/p>\n
