Bret Savage is set to have another busy week at the Park County Fair. He’ll hit the Pepsi Free Stage as a solo performer as well as with two other bands — The Cowley Boys and The Rewinders.
It’s nothing new for the Lovell resident, who’s performed in the area for the past 25 years and over 30 years in total. Savage has been playing for so long that his song catalog now includes some 550 songs.
Savage tries to keep his shows unique he said, but “Country Roads” and “Ring of Fire” are some of his most popular requests.
Each act offers a different musical experience and each performance will be a bit different, too.
The Rewinders
The Rewinders focus on taking audiences back to the past. The band pulls from about seven different decades across a variety of music genres, Savage said.
“I just like to make people smile and kind of have a familiarity [with the music],” he told the Tribune last year.
The band is made up of Wade Brost on rhythm guitar, Mike Holzer on bass guitar, Isaac Snyder on drums and Savage on lead guitar.
The Cowley Boys
The Cowley Boys have been together for 28 years, Savage said, and their current lead guitarist, Kasen Banks, is the son of Dave Banks, who plays the rhythm guitar.
Savage praised Kasen’s talent, calling the young man a “guitar shredder” and “the teenage sensation.” Beyond Kasen and Dave Banks, The Cowley Boys’ lineup consists of Schuyler Hinckley on drums and Savage on bass guitar.
Their music is an edgier offering, “a mix of country and classic rock,” compared to The Rewinders, who play “oldies.”
“It’ll be danceable country music, some familiar classic rock that people will know,” Savage said last year, adding “We’re just going to keep it all covers, so it’s things that people are familiar with and keep everything rolling.
Savage will kick off the free stage performances on Tuesday at noon, 3 and 8 p.m. On Wednesday he’ll perform at noon and 3 p.m. and on Thursday, he can be found on stage at noon, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. On Friday, Savage will perform at noon with his final performances at noon and 7 p.m. on Saturday.
As for The Rewinders, they’ll perform at 8 and 9 p.m. Friday while The Cowley Boys are set to play in the 8 and 9 p.m. time slots on Saturday.
