With nearly 50 more events listed on its official website, the Fraze will definitely be one of the best places to hear live music in an outdoor venue. Columbus-based country rock band McGuffey Lane ($2 general admission) is tonight’s headliner. Groove for free with Dayton Jazz Orchestra with the Miami Valley Jazz Camp on Wednesday. Hear all your favorite Led Zeppelin songs performed by Get the Led Out on Friday for only $5. Then nine-time Grammy award-winning Sheryl Crow takes the stage Saturday (tickets still available for $51-81). She’ll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the making of her DVD C’mon America 2003, which was filmed at the Fraze during two sold-performances.
All that music is bound to make you hungry and thirsty, so we want you to be fully informed about your food and drink options while attending a Fraze concert this summer.
