West End Fair: The Rehrig Brothers bring classic country to stage

They belt out classic country hits from times of yore.

Get ready to relax and listen to the sweet sounds of the timeless classics when The Rehrig Brothers perform from 3-3:30 p.m. and 4-4:30 p.m. Aug. 20 on the Main Stage at this year’s West End Fair.

Dave Rehrig said the show consists of songs from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.

“We do Classic Country; we take people through memory lane, the years that Country music was Country music,” Dave said. “The older crowd, they still like the Classic Country.”

Dave said the band truly enjoys performing at the fair.

“It’s a great fair; you can’t go wrong by going there,” he said. “If you don’t go, there’s a lot you’re going to miss.”

Dave said the band has been performing for 60 years.

The band has performed at a high level for five decades, and is comprised of twin brothers Dave Rehrig (lead vocals) and Dennis Rehrig (steel guitar), along with brother Dean Rehrig (keyboard).

Dave said the band plays classic country songs by artists such as Alan Jackson, George Strait, Charley Pride, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, a little bit of Elvis, and also does a segment of Conway Twitty hits.

“The Rehrig Family” formed a band in 1963 with their father, Frank “Pop” Rehrig.

After “Pop” Rehrig retired, the three sons changed the band name to “Twitty Fever.”

Dave took a break from the band in 1989 and Dean and Dennis formed “The Midnight Special Band.” In 1995, “The Twitty Fever Band” re-formed. Dennis performs with “The Midnight Special Band.”

The brothers decided to get together again as “The Rehrig Brothers” to perform in between their other two bands. Dave also does shows with his wife, Brenda, as the “Dave and Brenda Duo.”

The Rehrig Brothers are scheduled to perform from 3-3:30 and 4-4:30 p.m. Aug. 20 on the Main Stage at this year’s West End Fair. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
