Cruisin’

When: Sat, May 24 at 4:00pm
Website: thebandcruisin.com

The Band Cruisin’ was founded by lead singer and sax player Ron Howard in 1986. It’s rare in this business to find a group that has been together for over 30 years. It’s even more unusual for a group to be as successful as Cruisin’.

That success can be attributed to five dedicated guys who have lived and breathed the music of Motown and classic rock, and who consistently perform the high-energy R&B, Motown, and dance hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s with a style, flair and sound second only to that of the original artists.

If you ever have a chance to talk to Ron about the group and the success they’ve had over the years, he’ll tell you it all revolves around a passion for the music. And it’s this passion that provides the background for Cruisin’s powerhouse performances. Ask anyone who has heard them at Put-In-Bay, Kelley’s Island or anywhere in the 5-state area where they perform, and you’ll be told that Ron Howard and the band Cruisin’ are synonymous with “great entertainment.”
