Rocky Wall Productions (RWP) is pleased to announce regionally acclaimed honky-tonk band Trailer Trash and Joyann Parker and her band will perform at City Center Park in downtown Silver Bay as part of the Silver Bay Music in the Park - Free Live Music Concert Series.

Trailer Trash will take the stage on Friday, July 26, 2024, at 7:30 pm and Joyann Parker will perform on August 2nd, at 7:30 pm. Both concerts are free. 

Additionally, RWP will host six benefit concerts. 
According to Rocky Wall Productions President Nelson French, “Several of the visiting bands have agreed to stay a second day in Silver Bay and donate their time and talent to help us raise funds that will ensure that Rocky Wall Productions can continue to bring high-quality live music to Silver Bay.” The concerts will be held at the log home of Lisa Berg and David Drown. The first benefit house concert will feature Trailer Trash on Saturday, July 27th. French explained that forty first-come, first-served tickets will be available for purchase for each event. Learn more here.

About Trailer Trash
Trailer Trash got its start as a regular attraction at Lee’s Liquor Lounge, in downtown Minneapolis. With the popularity of retro-country music and swing dancing in the mid-'90s, the band found a following among new generations of music lovers. Trailer Trash is known for playing traditional country music, but they can swing, rock, and groove in a wide variety of styles from the American hit parade. Learn more about Trailer Trash here.

About Joyann Parker
With roots in the church and a solid foundation of musical education, Joyann Parker found her authentic voice later in life and created her own blend of roots music that combines soul, R&B, gospel, jazz, and traditional blues styles. Parker has been a steadily rising star on the Midwest music scene and now brings her full range of talent as an accomplished singer, pianist, guitarist, and songwriter to national and international stages.  Learn more about Joyann Parker here.


Both concerts are free and will be held outdoors at Silver Bay’s City Center Park near City Hall. (This is an all-weather show. In the case of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors to the Reunion Hall, 97 Outer Drive, Silver Bay.) You are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and blanket for comfort. Feel free to show up downtown any time after 6:00 pm. Emma’s Kitchen food truck plans to be on-site to meet your food and beverage needs. They will be present before and during the concert. Zoe’s Pizza and Northwoods Family Grille will also be open for dinner.
