CHERRY DOWN
The band morphed into its present state after being a successful original music act by the name of Velcro Love. You may remember the shows they did on the main stage of the former 80’s in the Park series. The band hosted numerous events but looked for other outlets to play more frequently and decided it best to change course. Playing originals is great but the number of venues to play at were limited. They are now successful as a high energy dance band.
