It was the year that The Beatles released Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour. Groups such as The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, Mamas & Papas, Buffalo Springfield and The Buckinghams were just a few of the dynamic acts that drove the music scene and we perform songs from all of those bands.It was at the Monterey Pop Festival that iconic performances were delivered by Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding. We include those artists in our homage to the year.Our 10 piece band The Summer of Love 1967 churns out the energy and captures the freshness of a new idea with some of the most iconic music ever recorded.Sunday, June 26, 2022 3:00pmTickets $35
