Due to rain and lightening on July 4th, Roscoe was forced to cancel their fireworks show and the evening concert planned. However, the event has been rescheduled for Friday, July 17.
Starting at 7:30 p.m., the Hogg Maulies will perform a free concert and street dance on “the bricks” on Cypress Street in front of Roscoe State Bank and City Hall. The Hogg Maulies is a well-known Texas country band based in Lubbock.
The group has produced a few albums, including “Here to Stay” and a live album from Lubbock’s Blue Light. The original band members, Rode Morrow, Bradey Murphree and David Mullins, grew up in West Texas and started playing in 2001 in a crop-duster hanger with two microphones, two guitars and one amplifier, according to mytexasmusic.com.
While attending Texas Tech University they met up with their now lead guitar player, Jerod Foster, from Paradise, Texas, who brings influences from the 1960s and 1970s. Since then fiddle player, Preston Wait from El Campo Colo. and bass player, Parker Morrow from Sweetwater, have been added to the group. The two are performance students at South Plains College and Wait has performed alongside Texas country act Cooder Graw.

The fireworks show will start around 9:30. You can view the fireworks from downtown by looking north. The fireworks will be shot off north of the railroad tracks.
Everyone is encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and coolers for the concert and fireworks. There will also be vendor booths set up again during that time. |
