Led by original members Don Brewer (drums) and Mel Schacher (bass), GFRR delivers classics such as “We’re an American Band,” “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “The Loco-Motion.” They even include the biggest. In September, regular acts Grand Funk Railroad and The Oak Ridge Boys are back in action on the 18th and 24th respectively.

The night includes three separate sets as Johnny Lee goes on first, followed by Gilley and then a tandem performance. A true honor to witness, the country legends brought their “Urban Cowboy” reunion show to Ameristar in 2018 and again in 2019 to play the soundtrack hits from the 1981 movie plus a plethora of other. Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee are also scheduled to make their annual appearance. Known for those early-’70s hits “If You Wanna Get to Heaven” and “Jackie Blue,” the band continues to play regionally and still features many of the original and classic members. Springfield’s very own Southern rock group The Ozark Mountain Daredevils is set to perform in the first show of the year on the coveted Star Pavilion stage on August 21. From pop to new wave and country to heavy metal, there is a little something for everyone there. Ameristar very often knows what shows we want to see even more so than we ourselves do. Getting to see a variety of artists plus many that come back annually are just some of our favorite parts.

A popular place for the nostalgic acts, we always look forward to the announcements and moments we get to spend there. Our home away from home, Star Pavilion at Ameristar Casino in Kansas City, MO is making its return to live music with a load of amazing 2021 year-end concerts featuring a plethora of beloved ’80s bands and artists.
