Hazelwood Brings 'Whole New Head' to Truman Park for Free Summer Concert Series

Only four concerts are left in this year's free summer concert series. Have you attended?

Hazelwood’s , 7029 Howdershell Road, will be the place to be on Saturday to hear some of the best classic rock songs ever recorded. 

A five-piece band of seasoned musicians, known as Whole New Head, will be playing rock ‘n roll the way it was meant to be played and heard.  The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Based in South St. Louis County, this new band has been making a name of itself performing all over the St. Louis region and on the Metro East side.  Its repertoire includes classic rock, current rock and some original music.  Local music critics believe this is a band to watch and develop into a chart busting powerhouse.  Members of the band include Cory Blake (Vocals), Mark Keller (Drums/Vocals), Tim Dodson (Guitar/Keyboard/Vocals), Steve Hubbard (Bassist/Vocals), and Keith Bennett (Guitar Wizard).
