Snake Oil ready to rock SummerFest on Saturday

Snake Oil ready to rock SummerFest on Saturday

SummerFest is Saturday evening at the corner of Water and Second streets.

Snake Oil: Ikons of Rock—a “rock star show on steroids,” according to one of the Summerfest’s organizers, Greg Mullins—will again headline Saturday’s festival at the Second and Water Street intersection.

The group was a crowd-pleaser last year, playing rock anthems that had the masses both singing along and pumping their fists in the air.

Snake Oil impersonates some of the most recognizable bands in rock from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, including Kiss, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Heart, Joan Jett, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Queen, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Blondie and Alice Cooper, among many more.

Brian Bishop, another organizer, said the response to Snake Oil was so strong last year that organizers wanted to bring the band back.

The festival, organized by the Sons of Henderson, which includes Mullins, Bishop and Jonathan Dixon, serves as both a fundraiser and as a method to raise awareness for local nonprofit organizations.

Each year, the organizers choose one nonprofit to donate the revenue from the event. This year, as they did last year, they’ve chosen Audubon Kids Zone.

Bishop said that Summerfest, a free festival, raises money through a few different channels.

First, it takes in funds from sponsorships from local companies. The main sponsor this year is First Federal Savings Banks. It is also sponsored by Fence Pros, Robert John and Associates, 103 GBF, Ellis Park, Bally’s, Faupel Automotive and Riverview Coal.

There’s also merchandise and water sales, as well as a beer garden. The event has reserved tables for $1,000 and VIP reserved tables for $1,200. And volunteers roam the crowd doing a “bucket shake,” Bishop said.

Net profits from the evening go to AKZ. Last year, AKZ was awarded $12,000, which the organization used to help offset costs for summer programs.

The festival begins at 5 p.m. when local nonprofits showcase their organizations. The beer garden also opens at this time.

At 6 p.m., local singer/songwriter, Lindsey James Williams, will take the stage. Williams said he had to miss last year’s Summerfest because of a conflict in his schedule, but he’s excited to be a part of it this year.

“I’m always happy to do something in my hometown,” he said.

Organizers had scheduled the two-man act Jack Russell’s Great White to perform after Williams. But that act had to withdraw because Russell has some medical conditions, Bishop said. Hunter Girl, who was a second place finisher in American Idol in February 2023, will fill in that spot.

Snake Oil will perform to close out the night.
