Benders will play encore at Robins

The Benders will return to the Robins Theatre on Aug. 28.

The surviving members of the band reunited for a show at the Warren theater last June. The Benders (Jeff Draime, Dante Cerni, Dave Lemasters and Bill Griffin) regularly appeared at the Mahoning Valley Rib Burn Off, opening for such acts as Michael Stanley & the Resonators, Cheap Trick, Dennis DeYoung and the Gin Blossoms and also shared the stage with Bad Company and Kansas at Eastwood Field and Ted Nugent and ZZ Top at Yankee Lake.

The group split up in 2005 when Cerni moved to South Carolina and Lemasters moved to California. Griffin died in 2019, but the remaining members will be joined by Lake Baum on bass and vocals and Alex Draime on lead guitar.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are $26.90, and all proceeds will benefit Northeast Ohio Adoption Services.
