By Anna Ericksonaerickson@parkrapidsenterprise.com
The new nightly PBR Bull Ride “After Party” dance and concert will feature touring national music acts and Nashville recording artists. This is a separate ticket from the bull ride. The concerts are a tribute to Jokela ProWest producer Randy Jokela’s mother, Lorraine, who died last fall. “She was always encouraging us to bring in the best music,” he said. Center Stage Productions will provide a Stageline 24 x 32 stage for the concert series and a separate stage for the dance band that will be set up at the pavilion. Advance discounted tickets will be available at www.parkbull ride.com. Hay Creek Entertainment is coordinating with Jokela ProWest on the entertainment.

He has toured with his previous band “From Joyce” nationally with the X Games, been featured on TV and print commercials with Harley Davidson, Budweiser and Crown Royal, and was the recent star of Country Music Television’s show Sweet Home Alabama. Growing up one of 10 kids on his family farm in Minnesota, Jeremiah developed a strong work ethic and sense of community.
