RUGBY – Tunes & Tastes at Tunbridge, a celebration of summer with music, food, drink and games will be held from noon-6 p.m. Saturday, July 18, at Tunbridge Lutheran Church, five miles west of Rugby on U.S. Highway 2, hosted by the Tunbridge Lutheran Church Preservation Society.

According to information from the society, taking the stage will be Billy Goat Scruff, a classic/southern/blues rock band covering music by the Allman Brothers, Bob Seger, Aerosmith and more. Based in Devils Lake, the three members of Billy Goat Scruff draw crowds wherever they perform. They are playing this gig as a favor to the Tunbridge Lutheran Church Preservation Society.
