The 2009 Fraze season was a great success. Faithful fans and exciting shows made for a terrific summer. Many thanks to everyone who attended a show, invited a friend, or even strolled through a festival. Here are some of the highlights of the season:
Packed Pavilion
Four spectacular sold out performances included Steve Miller Band; Randy Travis; Summerfest featuring Loverboy, 38 Special & Patty Smyth; and Loggins & Messina.
Headliners for Festival of the Vine, Boney James and Norman Brown’s Summer Storm, nearly sold out.
All Fricker’s $5 Friday shows sold out including The Menus (two nights), Parrots of the Caribbean and McGuffey Lane. Mark your calendar now for The Menus on June 11 and 12, 2010 and the Danger Brothers on August 20, 2010.

Fraze Pavilion is southwestern Ohio's premiere outdoor entertainment venue, celebrating its 18th season since Marvin Hamlisch christened the 4300-seat amphitheater in 1991.
Each summer several artists make their Fraze debut and 2008 was no exception. We welcomed a Beatle, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, the Backstreet Boys and Boston - all who sold out! Willie Nelson and Crosby, Stills & Nash returned in 2008 and sold out as well. Near sell outs in 2008 included shows by first time artists Gary Allan and The Guess Who.
What's new in 2009? This summer you'll be able to enjoy some great entertainment while keeping an eye on your wallet. We're excited to offer "20 under $20" for 2009. We've lined up at least 20 events for under $20 each for you to enjoy (many of them FREE).
