Wright Brothers to Perform Annual Race Day Concert

Having the Wright Brothers band perform at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre on Race Day has become a tradition each May, and this year is no exception.

"Indiana's Band" returns to Indianapolis' northwest side dinner theatre May 29 to perform live on stage at 8 p.m.

The concert will include songs on the band's latest album: "The Wright Brothers, Live from French Lick." Now available, the CD is a live recording of 21 songs performed during the Hoosier Jubilee radio show. Presented at the historic resort hotel, their radio show provided a mix of bluegrass, country and old rock ‘n' roll songs from five decades, with a tinge of gospel and some down home humor.

The Wright Brothers is a family band, both literally and figuratively. Its smooth sound includes Tim Wright, Tom Wright, John McDowell, Frank Bradford and Bryan Chrisman, as well as Tim's daughters, Emily and Lauren.

Dinner precedes the concert. Doors open at 6 p.m. with Chef Odell Ward's specially prepared buffet served from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Tickets range from just $28 to $39, and include the dinner buffet and the concert. Parking is always free. For tickets, call the box office at 317.872.9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays.
