Forecast, the local jazz-rock fusion band, kicks off the annual Summer Concert series at Standley Park on Sunday, July 9. The night is even more special because Forecast is celebrating 40 years of playing jazz-rock fusion.

The band got together in 1977, starting as a duo by UC’s Greg Pardue and Charlie Cates. Later, they become a quartet. The current group has been together for over 30 years.

Forecast has played during the UC Summer Concerts for seven years in a row, and will be performing many of their long-time favorites, as well as some original songs and a few gems from the past that haven’t been heard for some time.

Pictured above left was the quartet in 1977, from left to right sanding is: Charlie Cates, Dick Winter, Jim Rubel, and seated is Greg Pardue. Pictured right is the current 2017 quartet, from left to right: Greg Pardue (saxes), Randy Meyers (drums), Rick Nash (bass), and Max Zape (keyborads).

Come out and help celebrate 40 years of Forecast’s jazz-rock fusion sound.
