Charlie Souza and The New Tropics Heat Up Riverfest with Rockin'Performance! Clarksville, TN ~ September 2004 - music lovers were treated to a great evening of talent...most notably, Charlie Souza and The New Tropics. Visitors were definitely caught off guard by possibly the most experienced group of musicians on any stage. If you listened to Tom Petty, Cactus, Gregg Alman The Tropics, Bacchus, White Witch Gregg Kinn Band and Tommy Two Tone, you have heard these guys. These guys write and perform music that excites both young listeners and the die-hard rock and roll purists. Both talented and personable, this band enjoys what they are doing and audiences are quick to pick up on this rare quality. Debra Sutton,Riverfest Committee
