HOT Summer Concerts -- The Coastliners
New to the Rosenbert HOT Summer Concerts is a group that was originally formed the summer of 1964, when five talented high school friends from Baytown, Texas joined together as one of the Gulf Coast's most colorful and exciting musical groups. They called themselves The Coastliners. Quickly, they became known for their tight five-part harmonies and a sound that had everyone associating them with the West Coast surfing craze and a California group named The Beach Boys. The Coastliners also recorded six top ten hits from 1964 to 1968. Two of their hits, "She's My Girl" and "Alright", reached No. 1 in several major U.S. cities. Today, The Coastliners are back and better than ever, priding themselves on creative and precise musical arrangements and tight four-part harmony that distinguish them as one of the premier vocal groups in the nation. Wear your tropical shirts and flip flops and come join the crowd as we welcome The Coastliners to Rosenberg. Call or see website for more information.

HOT Summer Concerts -- The Sugarland Brass Company
Returning to the 2010 HOT Summer Concert series is a new band to our area and generously sponsored by Rosenberg's downtown entrepreneur, Bill Butler. The Sugarland Brass Company is a five-piece, "Deep Dish" Chicago-style rhythm & blues revue band, which attempted to perform last year, but was cancelled due to torrential downpours. The band has been together for only a couple of years, however, they are booked all over the Needville, Houston, Sugar Land and Katy areas playing a grand variety of R&B favorites, and have been quoted to be truly a real crowd pleaser each and every time. This is definitely a "don't miss" show! Call or see website for more information
