Locoweed on Woodlands stage

PERRYSBURG — Wednesday at Woodlands continues noon with Locoweed. The lunchtime concerts take place in the Woodlands Park shelter area, 429 E. Boundary St.

Bring a packed lunch and a chair, or sit it at one of the many picnic tables in and around the shelter area in both the sun or shade.

Locoweed is commemorating its 50th year and is recognized as the catalyst that launched the country rock movement in Northwest Ohio. Locoweed, emerged in 1973 as a trailblazing band when country and rock music seemed like polar opposites. The band’s distinct sound and genre-defying music quickly developed as a niche. The band embraced the notion they were “too country to be rock and roll, and too rock and roll to be country.”
