The Zapp Band performing at remembrance concert in Hamilton

HAMILTON, OH (FOX19) - Hamilton natives The Zapp Band are set to headline the annual Honor and Remember concert.

This free concert is being held at the New RiversEdge Park and Amphitheater in Hamilton on Friday, August 9.

The Zapp Band feature The Troutman Brothers from Hamilton, Ohio. The nucleus of Zapp circled around three of the five Troutman brothers: Lester, Larry and their younger brother Roger. The duo of Lester and Roger started several groups including Little Roger and the Vels. Larry eventually joined his brothers when their name became Roger and the Human Body, which also included youngest brother Terry and Gregory Jackson [Cincinnati Ohio Funk Keyboardist].

The two day event offers great food and music for people to come together to honor the lives and sacrifices made by  the almost 70,000 Ohioans that have given their  lives for our freedom since Ohio became a state in 1803.
