A Word from Josh: From 2004 to 2008 it was a tradition for us to play at an event called "Grafton Holidaze" at Lime Kiln Park during the week of Independence Day. That event was discontinued but now has reemerged in a slightly different form at Centennial Park as "Grillin' in Grafton." The alliterative name derives from the barbeque contest held earlier in the afternoon. The event also features a lot of music with The Katz Sass and Tim Castle & Young Southern giving healthy dose of blues and country (respectively) on the main stage before us. We took the stage at 6:00 pm under a glorious mostly-sunny sky and filled the sweet summer air with our brand of 80s pop metal into the twilight and beyond. After things got nice and dark we took a short break as a Color Guard came on stage and Menomonee Falls native Gianna Tarantino sang a rousing acapella rendition of the National Anthem to the patriotic delight of the crowd. This was followed by a spectacular fireworks show during which we continued with our show. This made for a pretty exciting combination. This also made for an awesome finale to our busy weekend. Grafton gave us a great time and we hope to be back next year. --Josh Were you at this show? Would you like to comment on it? Jon: "Awesome Show!!" Kevin: "Awesome show as always!" Cindy: "I 2nd that!!! Was a blast!!" Ruth: "You were awesome! I would like to take the time to thank Josh for taking a picture with my girls.(Dori) took the picture.

Thanks for a great concert" Nickee: "Was thrilled to have you visit Grafton.....everything was amazing. And the best part - you kept on playing through the fireworks and played my Journey at the finale. You guys are my favorite." CP fans: "Awesome show!!!!!!!! One of the bands best we have seen.
