River Falls Music in the Park presents The Denny Cooper Band from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20 at Veterans Park (1 N. Main St., River Falls).

Fantastic songs – the hits, standards and gems – from the Golden Age of popular recorded music make people feel alive when performed by this River Falls-based singer-guitarist. Denny Cooper, whether performing solo or accompanied by talented area musicians (the Delta Papas), delivers high-end entertainment from all genres of music, with a special focus on songs from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. 

Cooper grew up on rock 'n' roll and country music, apprenticed in folk songs and the British Invasion, and matured as the frontman in a Twin Cities blues band for 10 years. Since then, he has expanded into R&B, bluegrass and world music, making his song selection varied, compelling and enjoyable, with a strong appeal to the memories of young and old alike. Cooper’s greatest musical strength is his ability to express the feeling of a great song with vocal power, range and vibrancy. 

Music in the Park is the longest running event of the Community Arts Base (CAB) of River Falls, beginning in 1992.
