Davy
Jones of the Monkees
August 12, 8 p.m.
Davy Jones first invaded the hearts of teens in the 1960s Emmy
Award-winning television classic, “The Monkees.” The
TV band went on to release charting albums that continue to be
fan favorites today, featuring singles like “I Wanna Be
Free” and “Daydream Believer.” Since then,
Jones has triumphed as a serious actor and comedian on the theatrical
stage, a rock musician and composer, and an extremely able horseman.
His teenage heart-throb legacy lives on unrivaled today, as illustrated
by Yahoo Music’s commendation of Jones as “the number
one Teen Idol of All Time.”
Ides
of March,
featuring Jim Peterik
August 13-14, 8 p.m.
In 1970 Ides of March released their debut album, “Vehicle,” which
flew up the Billboard charts and sold over a million copies.
They then toured for three years, releasing 15 singles and four
albums, before going on a 17 year sabbatical during which lead
vocalist and guitarist Jim Peterik became a co-founder, songwriter,
and keyboardist for the group Survivor, penning hits like “Eye
of the Tiger” and “The Search Is Over.”
The original group reunited in 1990 for what was supposed
to be a one-time concert event that drew over 25,000 fans and
turned into an indefinite string of concert performances characterized
by the special chemistry of a band that still has all of its
original members more than 30 years after their inception.

Our Song.” The Buckinghams still play with an energy that
makes sixty look like the new forty and revitalizes the spirits
