Rock On The River: Recap

For the third year in a row WTTS brought the party to Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn with Rock On The Riverpresented by Arni’s Restaurant, a benefit concert for The Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. Through most of the day Central Indiana experienced gray skies and rain but as show time grew close the clouds began to break and the sun began to shine!  The evening began with a knockout performance from The Marcus King Band and there was barely anytime for the crowd to catch their breath before Robert Randolph and the Family Band took the stage.  The Revivalists delivered a memorable set to wrap up the night.  See the photos below, courtesy Rhythm In Focus Photography.
