Abbacadabra
  • Abbacadabra

With the new resurgence of the ‘70’s portrayed in part by the hugely popular, live musical production of “Mamma Mia”, the music of ABBA is finding its way back into the hearts of those who lived it then and taking over the hearts of those who are experiencing it for the first time.

Abbacadabra promises to continue the momentum by performing 20 of the groups’ greatest hits in full ABBA fashion and flair. You won’t be able to sit still in your seats as songs like S.O.S., Super Trooper and Dancing Queen are re-created with such precision you’ll swear you were listening to the originals themselves. The melodies of Fernando and Chiquitita will rekindle those feelings of first loves. Take a Chance on Me and Voulez Vous will lift you out of your seats to dance!

The Show is authentic in must and dress and is performed to live music that will leave you excited and melancholy…at the same time.

The 60’s Summer of Love
  • The 60’s Summer of Love

We all remember the 60’s…a time of conflict and of coming of age…A time of youth and love, of peace and innocence and of the wild and wonderful music that set the background for our lives and for the generations who followed.

The amazing vocals of the early California Beach Boys made us all dream of warm sand, fast cars and hitting the surf. Then there was the British invasion that began with the Beatles in early 1964 with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” that had us all growing our hair and rushing out to buy miniskirts and go-go boots as many other English groups continued to rock the music scene.

The hippies of San Francisco Haight-Ashbury days spoke to the world of peace, happiness, flowers and free love while thousands of similar free spirits on the East Coast gathered together in a little town they called Woodstock. The Motown sound put the funk in Detroit and Music was indeed the king that united a nation.

There has never been any question that music was at its very best from 1963 to 1969. The music of the 60’s holds a special memory for those who grew up with it. It was music you could sing along with, music you could dance to and the music you fell in love with.

Now, The 60’s Summer of Love brings all the memorable music from together for you in one great show!

Blue Oyster Cult
  • Blue Oyster Cult

For nearly three decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY-based band revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work. That tradition continues with the June 5, 2001 release of the Curse of the Hidden Mirror on CMC International Records, a division of the Sanctuary Records Group.

Blue Oyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BOC was listed in VH’1’s countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

The band members are proud of BOC’s classic sound, and pleased the band is creating vibrant work for disenfranchised music lovers who don’t like the homogenized, prefabricated pop or sound-alike, formulaic rap-metal, which monopolizes the radio airwaves and best-seller charts.
