ONTARIO – Music of country rock filled the air at the Malheur County Fair for nearly four hours on Friday, July 30. Idaho music icon Muzzie Braun opened the concert in authentic cowboy style with just his acoustic guitar and singing about Western life. He was then followed by Micky and the Motorcars, including his two sons Micky and Gary Braun. The Grammy-winning, headlining band Reckless Kelly followed to close out the night, featuring the other two Braun brothers, Willy and Cody.
The famous bands in the small town of Ontario was without a doubt a summer highlight and people spent the entire concert out of their seats and basking in the live music.
