The Buddy Holly Center presents Lubbock favorite, Element, as we kick off the 2016 Summer Showcase Concert Series on Thursday, May 26th from 5:30-7:30p.m. The concert is FREE and open to the public.

The evening will include:

  • Children’s activities
  • Cash Bar
  • Food truck fare  (only beverages purchased onsite will be allowed in the courtyard)

Element has been keeping the funk alive in Lubbock since 2004. Composed of Chicago John on lead vocals, Mike Austin on guitar, Rikki Horton on keyboard and saxophone, Freddie Currie on bass and Charles Francis on drums, this band has taken Lubbock by storm with an impeccable groove that gets listeners up and moving. They describe their style as similar to that of the iconic soul and funk group, Kool & the Gang. Element plays a full schedule locally and no matter the venue, there is always a huge turnout.
