From the streets of London in '62 to the stages
around the world this decade, concert goers long to hear: "Ladies
and gentlemen...the Rolling Stones". To celebrate the living
legends, Sellersville Theater presents a tribute to world's greatest
rock & roll band with a recreation with the highest regard to
authenticity. Expect to hear all the big hits, such as "Start
Me Up" & "Honky Tonk Women", their signature
classic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and an acoustic
set of popular favorites such as "Angie" & "Wild
Horses".
"They'll have you jumping like Jack Flash!"
– Las Vegas Sun
A Sellersville favorite! Sounding
almost identical to the rock royalty to whom they pay tribute, expect
to hear many Queen Classics including "Bohemian Rhapsody",
"We are the Champions/We Will Rock You", "Crazy Little
Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust".
Featuring Tom Cavanagh, Randy Gregg, John Cappadona, and the utterly
AMAZING Joseph Russo as Freddy Mercury.
Howard Jones was at the forefront
the Britpop 80's New-wave movement with hits like "Things Can
Only Get Better", "What Is Love?", "New Song",
"Everlasting Love" & his classic "No One Is To
Blame"; he was also voted "Keyboard Player of the Year"
in Rolling Stone Magazine and has a platinum album to his credit.
On his third Sellersville appearance, Howard performs more of an
electronic-synth duo concert. His last show sold-out in advance,
so getting tickets early is strongly advisable!
Now making a return visit, consummate showman Peter
Noone won hearts and rave reviews when last at Sellersville. His
original Hermits, part of the British invasion, were a hugely successful
group in the mid-60's. The Hermits' first single "I'm Into
Something Good" reached No. 1 in the UK & No. 13 in the
US in '64 and was followed by a string of hits followed including
"Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Silhouettes",
"Listen People" plus three gold singles "Mrs. Brown,
You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "I'm Henry the VIII, I
Am" & "There's a Kind of Hush".
Defending the Caveman is the longest
running solo play in Broadway history. The wildly popular comedy
has become a peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstandings between
men & women and has both sexes roar with laughter & recognition.
With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity
and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes
in relationships that go straight to the funny bone. (Recommended
18+)
"Outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet
exploration of the gender gap" - Chicago Sun-Times
"Caveman is a nationwide comic phenomenon!"
- New York Times
Shelby Lynne is enjoying much success
with her recent album Just A Little Lovin'; inspired by Dusty Springfield
It includes gems like "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me",
"I Only Want To Be With You", "Anyone Who Had A Heart",
"The Look Of Love" & "How Can I Be Sure?".
Shelby was voted "Best New Artist" at the '01 Grammies
despite her releasing successful country albums for over ten years
(with an ACM award to her credit). Her breakthrough I Am Shelby
Lynne featured many hits including "Life Is Bad"
& "Thought It Would Be Easier". She also appeared
in the hit movie Walk the Line.
Montreal-based guitarist/vocalist Frank
Marino is best know for his distinctively hypnotic blend
of hard rock, psychedelic rock, jazz & blues. Although many
contemporary guitarists like Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label
Society), Steve Vai & Steve Lukather praise Marino as an influence,
he’s not exactly a mainstream household name. However, Marino
immediately earned recognition within music circles as one of the
finest guitarists in the world upon the release of his 1971 debut
album Maxoom at the age of 16. Since then, he’s released
a series of notable albums.
Roomful of Blues founder Duke Robillard
has been recognized by fans, critics & his fellow musicians
as a premier guitarist. He’s won a pair of Handy Awards for
"Best Blues Guitarist," was a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds
and played on albums by Bob Dylan (‘97's Grammy-winning Time
Out Of Mind), Ruth Brown ('97's Handy-winning R+B=Ruth Brown), Pinetop
Perkins, John Hammond, Dr. John, and many more.
"A soloist of stunning force and originality"
- New York Times
Quicksilver Messenger Service was
one of the best bands to emerge from the Sixties Haight Ashbury
- San Francisco scene. They launched their career at classic venues
like the Fillmore & Avalon by stretching out, improvising and
pushing their music in unpredictable directions. Quicksilver Messenger
Service's most recognizable hit singles are "Fresh Air"
& "What About Me" and their current line-up still
features founding members Gary Duncan (on guitar & vocals) and
David Freiberg (on bass).
Entertaining, authentic, and elaborate, BEATLEMANIA
NOW is not just a Beatles Tribute Band. With as many as
7 AUTHENTIC COSTUME CHANGES, these four accomplished musicians/
actors/Beatles Impersonators all bear uncanny resemblances to John,
Paul, George and Ringo, not only from across the room but up close
too, and possess vocal talents to sound like them as well! No tracks,
tapes or background music of any kind are used during a BEATLEMANIA
NOW performance. All songs are performed absolutely live on as many
as 21 authentic guitars, as used by the Beatles, to reproduce their
unique sound and look. A Sellersville favorite!
