Have to agree with poster #1. I’m 48 and these acts make me yawn.

I really wish the woman who books the Fraze acts knew something about music.

Lifestyles Pavillion in Columbus - which has the same seating capacity as Fraze - has Dirks Bentley, The Avett Bros., Bright Eyes, Panic @ the Disco, Ray LaMontagne, and Elvis Costello booked during the months of May and June alone. These are all acts that matter, instead of the has-beens (or never was’s)that Fraze has booked.

To Agree w/A - I wouldn’t go to any of the acts that you listed. I guess that is why each pavillion does their market research and tries to design a program that will fill their stands.

fraze has and will always cater to the older crowd, older patrons= less problems 31, enjoy some of their shows, but going to c-bus to see a show is part of the story I will always tell. Guess it helps I enjoy music not a specific type over another…besides what fun is it saying “I seen dierks in kettering”…”uhhhh where’s kettering?”

not to mention, Fraze is owned by Kettering and Fraze posted a profit last year, not bad for a goverment operation….they are doing just fine…
