Spectrum News 1 caught up with one of the groups performing this year.
"It's all about the hits," David Chance, Ruff Endz, said. "You know what I mean, I think the hits is what they might not know who sings what, but they're going to definitely know the songs. I think that's what we're going to bring tonight. I think we're going to bring the records and for those that don't know, like we always used to say back in the day, if you don't know now you know."
