State Fair interim Director
Sean Hennessey said, “PLUSH’s message of empowerment for women really speaks
to us. We’ve featured trailblazers such as Joan Jett and Lizzy Hale of
Halestorm and it’s great to see another generation of women in rock music.
We’re proud to open the Chevy Park concert season with this show and these
ladies.”
