There's Trouble at Music@BCM! Bam Powell & The Troublemakers in Concert on July 15

COVINGTON, KY – There’s Trouble in River City with a Capital “T” that Rhymes with “B” and Stands for Bam!

Singing drummer Bam Powell returns to Behringer-Crawford Museum July 15 with The Troublemakers for an evening of bluesy rock ‘n’ roll.

Born in Lebanon, OH, Powell has been touring and playing his version of “The Cincinnati Sound” for nearly five decades. He was the drummer for LeBlanc and Carr in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and opened four shows for Lynyrd Skynrd before returning to the Cincinnati area in the 1980s to join The Raisins.

Over the years, Powell has performed with some of the area’s top groups, including the Goshorn Brothers, the Bluebirds and Tickled Pink, producing a number of recordings, including three solo CDs.

His current Troublemakers bandmates include Randy Villars on sax, Lee Everett on keys, Mike Fletcher on bass and vocals and Pete Benpiot, guitar and vocals.

The family-friendly performance takes place in Behringer-Crawford Museum’s outdoor amphitheater at 1600 Montague Road-Devou Park, Covington, KY 41011. Performances run from 7 to 9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. with food and adult beverages, including award-wining local beers from Bircus Brewing in Ludlow, available for purchase. Parking is free.

Admission is $5 for adults and free for children ages 3-12.  Visitors presenting an EBT card receive reduced admission of $3 for up to four persons.

Guests are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets for seating. In the event of rain, the music moves inside the museum.
