MORE COWBELL! Free Beach Concert: Blue Oyster Cult | Santa Cruz

Submitted by the Event Organizer

’70s rockers Blue Oyster Cult play two free concerts on the beach next to the Santa Cruz Pier on Friday night.   They have sold over 14 million albums worldwide. Known for hits like “The Reaper,” “Burnin’ for You,” and “Godzilla.” But most famously, you may remember Will Farrell’s special rendition of “The Reaper” on “Saturday Night Live” -“MORE COWBELL PLEASE!”
