 Music in the Park with Kelley and the Cowboys, begins at 6p on Saturday at Crouse Park. This 5 piece band is led by vocalist Kelley Breiding,whose voice is compared to that of Patsy Cline. With style influenced by a little western swing, rockabilly, country and blues the group will really get you dancin'. This won't be the bands first time in Sparta, nor will it be there last. They graced us with their music at last year's Mountain Heritage Festival (check out the video below) and they will be back for this year's festival as well.
