This just in from Deschutes County: Country singer Clay Walker and classic rockers The Guess Who, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and REO Speedwagon will play free concerts at the 2011 Deschutes County Fair.
Folks who procure a concert pass (at any number of locations around Central Oregon) and pay admission to the fair can catch the following shows:
• Aug. 3 — The Guess Who (“American Woman,” “These Eyes”)
• Aug. 4 — Clay Walker (“What’s It To You,” “Live Until I Die”)
• Aug. 5 — REO Speedwagon (“Keep On Loving You,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling”)
• Aug. 6 — Joan Jett & the Blackhearts (“I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” “Bad Reputation”)
The shows will begin at 7 p.m. each night, with doors to the fairgrounds’ event center opening at 5:30 p.m. Admission to the fair costs $10 for adults, $6 for seniors older than 62 and children age 6-12, and free for kids 5 and younger.
Concert passes for the series, which is sponsored by Big Country RV, will be available through several local radio stations and, starting in July, at area McDonald’s restaurants.

I saw Joan Jett in 2001 and it was an amazing show. Worth seeing for sure.
The Guess Who? This outfit appearing at the fair is definitely NOT the Guess Who you are expecting to see….Burton Cummings (the lead singer and the distictive voice of the Guess Who) left the band forty years ago and is not in this “Guess Who”…Randy Bachman (the guitarist and future founder of BTO) is not in this band….what you have here is the bass player and the drummer of the original Guess Who, now billing themselves as the Guess Who….”Guess Who” is right? who are these guys? but, if you really dug, in 1969, the Guess Who’s rythym section, then, by all means, go see this pseudo-group…otherwise, avoid another one of the ripoff artists who claim thay are the original band (can you say there are three different Beach Boys outfits touring the nation all claiming to be the Beach Boys?)….
