Red Alert certainly put on a high-energy show at Anson B. Nixon Park on Aug. 6: The "dance gravel" in front of the stage was full of boogeying folks young and old, myself included. The band played a great mix of Motown classics, disco hits (you're talking my language there!) and newer songs like "Call Me Maybe," "Blurred Lines" and the megahit-of-summer-2014 "Happy." They even threw in a Latin number, highlighted by the impromptu performance of an audience member (and Kennett Y member) named Audrey who came on stage and wowed everyone with her salsa dancing.
On Saturday night on the way home from another concert, we heard on Jonny Meister's WXPN blues show a very funny song called "Dump That Chump" by Little Charlie and the Nighcats. The call-and-response chorus was the title, and my companion said, "Red Alert should do that song!" We'd like to suggest they incorporate it in their repertoire (though perhaps not when they do wedding receptions).
I'll be really sorry when this concert series ends; what a variety of terrific acts we've seen this summer at the park.
