Abilene brings a Halloween treat to CH2
Abilene, GRF’s own country rock sensation, will be boot scootin’ in a very special Halloween show on Sunday, Oct. 31 in Clubhouse 2, instead of the Amphitheater, as originally reported. Doors open at 6 p.m.
The band is fronted by Terry Otte, whose talent covers everything from Elvis Presley to Willie Nelson and beyond. Sharing center stage is the dynamic Tina Schaffer singing the songs of country legend Patsy Cline and hit-makers Linda Ronstadt and Shania Twain. Rounding out the band is guitarist Rod Anderson, bassist Mike Simpson, drummer Jim Greer, and Jim Long on guitar and synthesizer.
This year, Abilene opened the Amphitheater season with a rockabilly show that drew nearly 2,000 fans. Since they always pack the house, extra tables will be added in the lobby for the Halloween show. No saving of tables will be allowed prior to when doors open, and any decorations left in the clubhouse before the show will be removed.
Abilene is co-sponsored by GRF as one of its most popular weekend bands. The band, which has been going strong for nearly 20 years, regularly performs the fourth Saturday of the month in Clubhouse 2.
