NOW THAT WAS A HIT PERFORMANCE! 38 Special brought its signature Southern Rock sound to the Taylor Summer Festival on Friday, June 28. The group has had many Gold and Platinum album awards and continues to stand the test of time. With sales in excess of 20 million, a loud, enthusiastic crowd enjoyed arena-rock pop smashes like “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more. Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. They sounded great on Friday night ...

THE HIDEAWAYS: The Hideaways band made a strong appearance right between the Dave Fio Band and featured performers 38 Special on Friday, June 28, at the summer festival. Here are some photos from their performance.

DAVE FIO BAND: Taylor's own Dave Fio, a former contestant on "American Idol", kicked off the summer festival's Friday, June 28th concert with a bang. The popular Fio, who is not only a gifted singer but has also beaten his share of personal problems, drew a huge crowd in the concert's lead-off spot, likely the largest in at least a decade. His bluesy, raspy tones and down home interaction with the crowd was a big hit throughout his half-hour performance.

THE FINALE! LAST NIGHT LOOK BACK: Here's a review in pictures of country sensation Frankie Ballard, who took the stage last during the Taylor Summer Festival Saturday night. It was fireworks evening and Frankie lit the fuse. Ballard put on a high-energy performance that the crowd just fell in love with, from "Sunshine and Whiskey" to "Young and Crazy." Great performance! Enjoy ... and we'll see you next year with more great acts at the summer festival.

LAST NIGHT LOOK BACK: Here's a review in pictures of some of the onstage talent at the Taylor Summer Festival Saturday night, which was fireworks evening. This is Danielle Bradbery, a young country pop performer who is known for being the youngest winner of "The Voice" at just 16. She thrilled the crowd by singing some of her favorites, including "Sway" and "Stop Draggin' Your Boots." Enjoy!

Taylor Summer Festival carnival is open today from 12pm - 7pm The carnival is located inside Heritage Park, Taylor, MI.

All day ride wristbands $25.

LAST NIGHT LOOK BACK: Here's a review in pictures of some of the onstage talent at the Taylor Summer Festival last night. This is Gin Blossoms, an alternate late '80s-'90s band that originated in Arizona but made its real mark on MTV as one of the format's most popular offerings in the 1990s. Gin Blossoms' best songs have never died, unlike other bands. Great performance. Large crowd was really into it - and a shout out to Lenore for her special announcement at the end of this album (from all of us in Taylor, congrats!). Remember, the festival is open all day today with the Recoil Fi****ms fireworks at dusk, and country stars Danielle Bradbery and Frankie Ballard onstage. Enjoy!
