Felix Cavaliere's Rascals Coming to Poway Next Month

Hearing the word "Groovin" excites music lovers nationwide, recognizing the familiar Young Rascals song of the 1960's. Celebrating these classics and other songs, Felix Cavaliere's Rascals will be coming to San Diego on Saturday, January 24, 2015. Tickets would make great stocking stuffers or Hanukkah surprises. The band, led by keyboardist and an original lead singer of The Rascals, Felix Cavaliere, performs at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts at 8:00 p.m. Cavaliere takes joy from the emotions the audience feels during the show. He told music writer Ray Schweibert, "There are tears, laughs and pure enjoyment going on and people leave just feeling good."

The East Coast band The Rascals (briefly called The Young Rascals) would forever change music history, with "Good Lovin,'" "A Beautiful Morning," "Love is a Beautiful Thing," "I've Been Lonely Too Long," "How Can I Be Sure," "A Girl Like You," "Come On Up," "Carry Me Back" and many more. The band was founded for one purpose - to unite people with their music. "We stood for peace, love and happiness," says Cavaliere. Their sound grew from blue-eyed soul (a term coined to describe them) to psychedelic pop and jazz fusion.
