Texas Lightning Plays Classic Rock at the Next Hot Summer Sounds Concert

So who is this Texas Lightning of which I speak?  Well, they are a group of guys from Temple. You may even know some of them.

Members include Bob McDaris (Bass, Vocals), Steve McDaris (Lead Guitar, Vocals) Greg Wills (Rhythm Guitar, Vocals) John Crosson (Percussion, Vocals) and Todd Cunningham (Keyboards, Vocals).

Texas Lightning covers the hits from the classic rock era of the 1970’s. Temple Parks press release says the band has been influenced by such legendary artists and rock bands like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and ZZ Top.

Here they are at the Temple Battle of the Bands.

Texas Lightning really likes coming out and playing for the city of Temple.  Band Member Todd says, “One of the best things about Hot Summer Sounds is that it is family friendly. We see folks of all ages rocking out to these classic American songs in the park. Little kids love the live music and their parents and grandparents love hearing all the southern rock songs.”

Bring something to sit on, blankets, chairs or  air mattresses. Bring a cooler full of cold drinks and food, or you can buy from the vendors.  There is a splash pad for restless children too.

This is the whole summer lineup.
