🤘🔥 WOW... WHAT A NIGHT! 🔥🤘
The 5th Annual Downtown Summer Jam absolutely ROCKED the Owensboro Riverfront!

🎸 Krown Band kicked things off with an incredible opening set, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.

Then Paradise Kitty - All Girls, All GUNS N' ROSES. took over McConnell Plaza and brought the energy, attitude, and iconic Guns N' Roses hits that had the crowd singing, dancing, and rocking from the very first song!

While Mother Nature had other plans and we had to end the show early due to severe weather, what we experienced before the storms arrived was nothing short of AMAZING.

A HUGE thank you to Paradise Kitty for flying all the way from Los Angeles, California, to absolutely rock our world. You were phenomenal, and we can't thank you enough for bringing your incredible show to Owensboro!

Thank you to KROWN for an outstanding opening performance, and to our amazing production crew, stagehands, vendors, volunteers, public safety officials, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible.

Most importantly... THANK YOU to everyone who came downtown to support live music and helped make another Downtown Summer Jam one to remember. Your enthusiasm and support mean everything.

Special thanks to our incredible partners: the City of Owensboro, Visit Owensboro, TEG|The Eric Group, Bluegrass Clash, and the L!VE on the BANKS Concert Series for making this annual tradition possible.

Owensboro... you know how to ROCK.

Until next year... THANK YOU for another unforgettable Downtown Summer Jam! 🤘❤️
