Roll On Brings Alabama’s Country Classics to Sutherlin Tonight

SUTHERLIN, Ore. - The music of Alabama will fill Sutherlin Central Park tonight as Roll On takes the stage for the final Music Off Central concert of the summer.

The free concert begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6, with food trucks scheduled to open at 5:30 p.m. Roll On is set to perform from 7 to 9 p.m.

Based in Vancouver, Washington, Roll On is a tribute band built around the familiar harmonies and country-rock sound that made Alabama one of the biggest country groups of its era. The band’s show includes favorites such as “Mountain Music,” “Dixieland Delight” and “Song of the South.”

Roll On features a group of experienced Pacific Northwest musicians, including lead vocalist and guitarist Brian Pelky, bassist and vocalist Jerry Hatcher, drummer Jerod Moore, guitarist and fiddle player Doug Reeder and keyboardist Dave Lee. Collectively, the musicians have backgrounds spanning country, rock, blues, jazz and touring productions.

Thursday’s performance closes out a seven-week Music Off Central season that brought tribute rock, ’90s country, outlaw country and party music to Sutherlin throughout the summer.
