OSHKOSH, WIS. – We used to go to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh strictly for the planes, but many pilots and aviation enthusiasts now also go for the great music.
Among this year’s concerts will include Kenny Loggins, who has been making hit music for the past four decades. Loggins will kick off the evening entertainment when he headlines the fly-in’s popular opening night concert on Monday, July 28.
The concert, presented by Ford Motor Company, is free to all AirVenture attendees that day and will be held on the EAA Plaza immediately following the afternoon air show.
Loggins’ newest endeavor, Blue Sky Riders (Loggins, Georgia Middleman, Gary Burr), will start the evening’s entertainment.
Kenny Loggins’ remarkable career has brought him from the top of the charts to the toast of the Grammys. He’s had smash hits on Hollywood’s favorite soundtracks (Footloose, Top Gun, Caddyshack), rocked stages around the world, and found his way into children’s hearts while bringing his soulful, beautiful voice to platinum albums of a stunning variety of genres.
As the grand finale of a daylong salute to veterans on Friday, August 1, there will be a concert by the award-winning swing band “Big Bad Voodoo Daddy” and sponsored by Disabled American Veterans and EAA Warbirds of America.
