“We’re really excited to bring some girl power to this year’s event with our feature act, Barracuda,” said Canal Music Fest Co-Chair Amy Barr. “And we’re always thrilled when Stranger joins us. You’ll be blown away by the Barracuda vocals—close your eyes, and you’ll think you’re at a Heart concert.”
Barracuda, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is known nationwide for its powerhouse vocals, stellar musicianship, and high-energy live performances. The band’s members are world-traveled musicians with impressive résumés, and the group is considered the busiest Heart tribute act in the country.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy an energetic evening of music. The event will be held rain or shine. Coolers and backpacks are not permitted. The park is located north of the Tipp City Aquatic Center, with entrance and free parking available from Parkwood Drive.
