Spectrum performs Tuesday at Faust Park

One of our favorite private event bands that play free concerts is Spectrum. We had the pleasure of interviewing Spectrum’s vocalist, Melanie Roper; bassist, Sean Scales; and drummer/manager, Tim Callihan. They talked about the variety of music they play, what sets them apart from other bands, why they like playing free concerts, and what it’s like working with Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce.

Here’s what is happening this week on the Free Concert scene.
