Hurricane Blaze band at Lake Harriet Bandshell Saturday, May 30th
Details
Free.
Musical performance is 7:30-9:00 PM.
I plan to be there by 6:30 PM.
Come early for introductions and conversation.
Hurricane Blaze is a blending of an instrumental band, Hurricane Karaoke Band, which provides live backing for karaoke singers, with Mikko Blaze, who won the World Karaoke Championship in 2018, on lead vocals.
Genres: rock, pop, dance, and R&B.
On their Facebook page they say: "Variety Cover Band Guaranteed To Blow Your Hair Back!"
We had a Meetup event and saw them a couple of years ago. They were fun!

I'll be dancing to many of their songs. Feel free to join in or not, with or without a partner. It's typically a fun group-dance happening at Lake Harriet.
Parking:
Pay parking in nearby lots. I can usually find a free spot on the street on the neighborhood just to the west of the bandshell area, on Queen Ave. S.
Bring a lawn chair or blanket, water, cash and credit card (probably both is best) for parking, or food at the concession area (the Bread and Pickle), or possibly a food truck. "Cash is king" but sometimes credit cards are required for parking, and for vendors who don't like large sums of cash on hand.
Maybe bring an umbrella in the event of a passing rain shower.
Mosquito repellant may or may not be needed (your guess is as good as mine).
I use ear plugs when dancing near the band (your call, of course).
Weather:
In case of rain: monitor the Minneapolis Parks Music in the Parks Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mplsmusicmovies/ .
If/when I find out about any cancellation or go-ahead the day of this event I'll post a comment on this page with information as soon as I am able.
How to find us:
As you face the stage from the audience look to your right, and behind you, in a shaded area, by the small hill. I look like my photo. I'll be wearing my orange-green-red-yellow "jungle leaves" design cap. Look for a 5 ft. green pole with a blue pennant it. It'll be near us.
