The popular group will be featured at 7:30 tonight in concert at the Civic Auditorium.

The Cowsills current single release, "Hair" has topped record popularity charts in recent weeks.

Other Groups

"The Cowsills" are to be joined tonight by a famous hard rock band called "Sweatwater" and two local groups known as "Tommy G and The Mud" and "The Bounty Hunters."

Although the Cowsills flight did not arrive until 9:30 a.m. the fans started milling around gate seven at the Sunport before 8 a.m.
