BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox announce today a special pregame concert by kids rock band Milkshake on Superhero Night at Prince George's Stadium Saturday, July 16, as the team takes on the Richmond Flying Squirrels at 6:35 p.m. The event features a pregame concert by Grammy-nominated kids' rock band Milkshake, superheroes, special perks for members of Louie's Kids Club and a postgame fireworks extravaganza.
The fun begins when stadium gates open for the concert at 4 p.m. Milkshake is scheduled to perform on top of the third base dugout at 4:15 p.m. The band has been entertaining Maryland youngsters for 10 years and have rocked the stadium the past three seasons. Milkshake has been featured on Noggin, PBS and XM Radio while receiving critical acclaim in The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, Time Magazine, and the Los Angeles Times.
Lisa Matthews of Milkshake is ready to return to the stadium. "The band is really excited about rocking with fans before the Baysox game," said Matthews. "It's cool to have such a fun opportunity to bring our music and fan experience to such a kid-friendly venue."
