Keeping the juke joints jumpin’ and the dance halls hoppin’, the Suns of Memphis are purveyors of bonafide rockabilly and real country music. The band hails from Menominee, Mich., and draws material from the earliest days of rockabilly at Sun Records, adds in a healthy dose of roots rock and country and tops it off with some of their own original songs. Be prepared to hear some of your favorite songs by artists such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Horton, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Thompson, Webb Pierce, Merle Haggard, Faron Young, BR5-49, Stray Cats, and more.

Knights on the Fox features live music in a casual atmosphere along the banks of the Fox River. Concertgoers can carry in their own picnic or purchase sandwiches, snacks and beverages at Phil’s, St. Norbert’s on-campus restaurant located in the Ray Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center.

The docks of the Thompson Marina will be open for those who wish to come by boat. Parking is available in the lots off of Third Street and College Avenue, with handicapped parking in the lot near Old St. Joseph Church, 123 Grant St. Lawn chairs and blankets are suggested. Follow the signs to find your way to the parking lots.
