Sgt. Pepper Spray Band debuts at Music@BCM June 21, brings sounds of the late 60s and 70s


The Sgt. Pepper Spray Band will rock your world on June 21 at the Behringer-Crawford Museum amphitheater in Covington’s beautiful Devou Park.

This energetic four-piece group will perform music made popular by the Beatles, Tom Petty, Van Morrison and others.

BCM’s sound engineer, Rob Currens, will assume a different role as he takes the stage as Sgt. Pepper Spray’s drummer. Currens has been a Beatles fan since 1963. Joining Currens will be former bandmate and bass player Todd Butler.

“We used to play all over Short Vine with a group called ‘Tails Out,'” Currens said. Lead singer and guitarist Wayne DeVault and lead guitarist Pete McCann round out the group.

From the ridiculous (BCM’s infamous two-headed calf) to the sublime (our fascinating collections), this family-friendly museum celebrates the unique arts, heritage and culture of Northern Kentucky as part of the Ohio Valley. Music@BCM concerts take place on Thursday nights during the summer, while the annual Holiday Toy Trains display is a child’s delight in winter.

Music@BCM concerts are held in the museum’s outdoor amphitheater at 1600 Montague Road-Devou Park, Covington, KY 41011. In case of rain, performances move indoors.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 3-12. Museum members pay for one admission and get the second one free. Adult beverages are available for purchase. Concert-goers can also purchase food by Colonial Cottage of Erlanger, KY, supporting local community organizations. Parking is free.

The series continues on June 28 with the Robin Lacy & DeZydeco and will take place each Thursday through August 10, with the exception of July 5.

Music@BCM is sponsored by Ashley Development, Colonial Cottage, Ruth Faragher & Family, Ersatz & Moot Point Railway Company and the Alumni of WNOP Jazz, Hummel Hatfield Insurance Agency, George & Margaret McLane Foundation, Reality Tuesday Café, KW Mechanical and the Rich & Lisa Boehne Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
