Abilene will bid farewell to original members on April 27
Abilene’s Saturday, April 27, performance will be Terry Otte and Rod Anderson’s last performance with the band. The two are retiring after 22 years. They are the only two original members of Abilene, which the pair started in 2002 with other band members.
The dance will be held in Clubhouse 2. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the music starts at 7. Reserving tables is prohibited.
Otte is a lead singer in the band, sharing his duties with Tina Shaffer. Anderson plays guitars, backing up the band with bassist Doug Decker and drummer Jim Greer.
Abilene is LW’s No. 1 country rock band. In 2022, they opened the Amphitheater season with a rockabilly show that drew nearly 2,000 fans and they continue to be GRF’s top drawing band.
Abilene will continue to perform at its regular Saturday dances with its new members. All concerts are free, but tips are accepted and greatly appreciated. For more information, contact kathyt@lwsb.com or call 562-431-6586, ext. 2707.
