The Happy Together Tour 2015 stars The Turtles featuring Flo & Eddie, The Association, Mark Lindsay (former lead singer Paul Revere & The Raiders), The Grass Roots, The Buckinghams and The Cowsills.

The Happy Together Tour of 2015 is back by popular demand, once again highlighted by Flo and Eddie of The Turtles. Their debut single, Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe," went Top Ten in 1965 and launched the band on a brief string of hits: "Let Me Be," "You Baby," "Grim Reaper of Love," and "Can I Get to Know You Better." The Turtles weren't content, however, and were about to break up; but first they released "Happy Together," which proved to be their biggest hit, and one of 1967?s Top Ten records. With their career reinvigorated, "She'd Rather Be with Me," "You Know What I Mean," "Elenore," and "You Showed Me" were their last single releases.

It all started in 1965 with the breakup of one of the first folk rock ensembles called, "The Men." What was originally an 11 member singing group, ultimately became the 6 man band named, "The Association!" In 1967, The Association made history being the first band anywhere to open a rock festival - the now historic, Monterey Pop Festival. Popular hits include "Windy," "Never My Love," and "Cherish."

In addition to being the lead singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders, Mark Lindsay was the very image of the band. In 1965, The Raiders owned the 1966 charts with hits like "Just Like Me", "Kicks", "Hungry", and "Good Thing", which Mark also wrote. During that time they were the top earning artists for Columbia Records. In 1970 after he left The Raiders, Mark had a very successful solo recording career with a pair of top 40 hits "Arizona" and "Silver Bird" as well as 3 best-selling albums. Mark Lindsay has sold over 50 million records.

The Grass Roots had a series of major hits - most notably "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," and "Two Divided by Love" - that help define the essence of the era's best AM radio. Although the group's members weren't even close to being recognizable, The Grass Roots managed to chart 14 Top 40 hits, including seven gold singles and one platinum single, and two had hits collections that effortlessly went gold.

The Buckinghams pack power into 60s pop rock. Their #1 song, "Kind of a Drag" is a standout favorite that first made them famous. Since then came 7 national chart hits, 15 singles, and 8 acclaimed albums. The Buckinghams enjoyed phenomenal success with hit singles including the powerful "Don't You Care," the soulful "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," and the national anthem of teenage love, "Hey Baby, They're Playing Our Song," on the national charts simultaneously.

The real-life inspiration behind the hit television series The Partridge Family, The Cowsills - were one of the biggest pop acts of the late '60s. Distinguished by their angelic harmonies and sun-kissed melodies. The group's origins lie with brothers Bill and Bob, who as children began their singing careers covering Everly Brothers hits. Their hits include "Take A Letter to Maria," and "Hair."

Don't miss out on tickets to this compilation of some of the best music of the 60s! So "invest a dime," and "imagine how the world could be so very fine" with tickets to the Happy Together Tour 2015!
