“All ‘90s All Night – Re-live the decade that brought us pogs and boy bands, furbies and Friends,” states the P90 Facebook site.

P90 was formed to pay tribute to the last golden decade of guitar-driven rock music – and does not disappoint.

The Sounds of Summer Concert Series continues in Byron Center with three August shows starting on Thursday, Aug. 1, with country band Prior Noon at Bicentennial Park at 7 p.m.

The FREE community concert also will have food available from Tony’s Tacos.

“Tony has helped us out for a couple of years now,” said Patty Williams of P. Williams Productions. “He’s part of the family now.”

P. Williams Productions, which also includes William’s son Lare, prides themselves on providing an entertaining night of not only music, but rounds of Name That Tune and trivia emceed by Lare.

“I’ve had this group of ladies come to me and say that the music is great, but they really come to see Lare,” Patty said. “He’s very entertaining and also takes care of all the sound engineering.”

Sounds of Summer garners fans from far and wide throughout the state of Michigan and even from other states.

“We had a couple drive seven hours from Paducah, Kentucky, to watch our show at Cutler Park,” Williams said. “We have people come from Mackinac, Charlevoix, South Haven, even Detroit. We have many people that have been coming to shows for many years; they own it and make it feel like it’s theirs.”

90’s cover band Project 90 will perform Aug. 8, and Brena will be the grand finale on Aug. 15 to close out the series.

Brena, West Michigan’s premiere party band, is led by duo Craig Avery and Steffan Copenhaver and closed out the Sounds of Summer series at Cutler Park last month.

“Cutler Park had a great-sized crowd, if I had to guess, it was more than 500 people,” Avery said. “We have a completely different setlist planned for Byron Center, so we hope to see many familiar faces there.”

Bring your favorite lawn chair or blanket, sit back, relax, and get ready to be entertained by the Sounds of Summer.

“People enjoy going out on a summer evening bringing their lawn chairs and listening to good music,” Patty Williams said. “There’s excitement from the moment you park your car to the time you get to your seat.”
