Post #173 Sons of the American Legion hosted their 2nd annual Rock the Lot on Sat., August 23. Matt Schuerman and Cody Buchanan of 650North entertained the crowd first, followed by Of All Days, out of Cincinnati. In attendance enjoying the event was Troy Luccketta, original founding member and drummer (36 years) for the popular 80’s rock band Tesla. Luccketta was invited to drum with Of All Days to the song “Rock and Roll” by Led Zeppelin. Lucketta has ties to the area through his friendship with the late Jerry Vollmer and working with 650North.
