Paul Revere wants to make one thing perfectly clear: Having a good time is what matters most.
“I’m a rock ‘n’ roll party, and this is what I do,” said the frontman for Paul Revere and the Raiders, who will perform on Tuesday at the Pepsi Grandstand on the Missouri State Fairgrounds. “I get on stage with my band and I take the audience to a place that is happy and fun and makes them remember what it was like when they were young and weren’t in debt yet.”
