Bark a bit later this year

Bark in the Park is April 12 at the Levitt Shell at Overton Park in Memphis! This year the event will move a bit later in the day, being held from 2 to 5 p.m. Headlining the event is The Stunning Cunning Band. The Stunning Cunning Band is dedicated to bringing Rockabilly to a new generation. They play a mix of Rockabilly, Early Rock, R&B, Traditional Country and Blues that has a groove that’ll make you move.

The band performs with great vitality and is fronted by the charismatic Brandon Cunning on lead vocals and guitar. Brandon is an energetic showman whose acrobatic stage moves and musical skills reflect the influence of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly and Brian Setzer. Steve Clark on stand up bass and Brian Stuhr on guitar make up the driving rhythm section. Learn more about the band here: www.thestunningcunningband.com.
