The band that will perform September 17  during the annual Morganfield Lions Club Corn Festival is featured in this month’s issue of Kentucky Monthly.

Skip Bond and the Fugitives occupies page 12 in the magazine under the heading of Kentucky Music.  Kentucky Monthly notes the group is “one of the most popular live acts” in Western Kentucky.

 “We play kind of a Motown 10-piece show band”, guitarist and manager  Tommy Holderfield said, adding the band also throws in some country and disco.

 Skip Bond and the Fugitives  will play following the 2 p.m. Corn Festival Parade on Saturday, September 17.  The band’s three-hour performance is expected to get underway between 4 and 4:30 p.m.  Admission is free.

 “We get booked because we play what people want to hear,” Holderfield stated.  Their playlist includes songs from The Beatles, The Temptations, The Four Tops and Otis Redding.
