On Sunday, July 19, Plow will be performing at Old Poway Park.

Plow offers a mix of Americana and acoustic music they make uniquely their own. According to the band’s website, “like any good Slumgullion stew, Plow borrows ingredients from Americana Heritage Music, adds its own spices, and puts the whole pot on a rolling boil. The result is a simmering musical concoction that wafts through the air and connects the listener to America’s musical past and present.”

The Mighty Untouchables bring their music to the stage on Wednesday, July 22 at Lake Poway.

This multi-cultural group brings everything from Motown to classic rock long with Latin, country, current pop hits and much more.

Classic Chrome’s sound is described as “sizzling rock and roll, swing and Motown, delivered with passion and sparkling showmanship. With exciting costumes, colorful character impersonations, side splitting comedy, top notch vocals, and expert musicianship, Classic Chrome provides a unique and fun entertainment experience for all ages,” according to the band’s website.

On Sunday, Aug. 2, the Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh perform at Old Poway Park.

The Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh are one of the most popular Celtic music groups performing today. They perform both traditional and non-traditional music, as well as a few Gaelic songs.

The Fabulous Ultratones continue the concert series on Sunday, Aug. 9 at Lake Poway.
