Military, first responders can see Innsbrook show for free

The organizers of Innsbrook After Hours will keep the Memorial Day spirit chugging into the week.

For tomorrow's co-headlining show of Little Feat and Tea Leaf Green, all military personnel and those who work as first responders will be admitted to the concert for free.

"It seems the proper thing to do," said Laurin Willis, one of the promoters of the Innsbrook series. "In this post-9/11 world, these are the people who have been the heroes the past seven years."

Current and retired members of the military, along with police, fire and EMT workers, can show their official identification at the gate for entry.

This is the third consecutive year that Innsbrook After Hours organizers have granted free admission to emergency-response professionals.

Last year, about 400 people took advantage of the offer.

"It's just second nature to reach out" to them, Willis said. "It's always about giving back."

Tickets can still be purchased for the show at Snagajob.com Pavilion for $12.50 (general admission) and $30 (gold circle seating).

Gates open at 6 p.m. Tea Leaf Green is expected to perform starting at 6:30 p.m. and Little Feat at 8 p.m.
