RUSHVILLE —

It’s been a long, hot summer, and nowhere has it been any hotter than at Riverside Park’s Amphitheater for the 2010 Live By The Levee Concert Series. To finish the 2010 season the amphitheater will be rocking and rolling this Saturday. Saturday’s show gets underway at 7 p.m. The opening act, 650 North, hail from Osgood and play their own alternative rock songs. You may not have seen them opening for Guns N’ Roses in Warsaw (Poland, not Indiana), but you may have caught them as the closing act at an all-day benefit concert for Scott Brooks last year right here in Rushville. If you did you’ll be sure to be at the amphitheater by 7 p.m. to see them again as they perform original music from their debut album, Empty Drawer, including the singles “Afraid of Falling” and the album title cut. For decades, the Devonshire brothers have been thrilling audiences from coast to coast with their "action-packed brand of non-stop entertainment" including stops in New York City, Orlando, Chicago, Las Vegas, Nashville, Phoenix, San Diego and many more. Add Rushville to that impressive list. Their shows contain the greatest hits from 1964 to 1979, interspersed with hilarious skits that take you back to the days when the Beatles, the Moody Blues, The Who, the Monkees, Grand Funk Railroad, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, and even Billy Joe Royal (along with your other favorite artists) ruled the airwaves. These five Devonshires take you back to the greatest era of rock musicianship, and will leave you wanting more. So bring your chairs or blankets to Riverside Park Amphitheater located at 100 Water Street in beautiful downtown Rushville for the Live by the Levee final free concert of 2010 on the El Reparo/Mezcal Bar and Grill Stage. If you can help our charitable partners with some needed donations you’ll feel even better. The Rush County Community Assistance Food Bank would love to get your donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items. Changing Footprints wants to help those who have no shoes with your new, or gently used footwear donations. Finally, the Rushville Animal shelter needs things like pet food, toys, bedding, and bleach. Leave these items in the designated bins by the east entrance, or give to a neon shirt wearing amphitheater volunteer. Paul and Joyce Morrell will be selling delicious roasted corn on the cob, with all proceeds going to the Food Bank, and representatives from the Rush County Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) will be there with info on what they do, and how you can help. It’s free and loads of fun for the whole family. There’s plenty of free parking, and even a shuttle from the main parking lot, and special handicapped parking area. Make plans to join your friends and neighbors this Saturday, Live by the Levee.
