    Sunday, July 7th – ​British Invasion

    British Invasion: In the mid-1960’s, North America was swept by a wave of rock and pop from the UK that would have an enormous impact on music and pop-culture for generations to come. Inspired by American rhythm-and-blues and rock-and-roll of previous decades, young British groups began to infuse these styles with up-tempo melodic pop and fiery guitar-based instrumentation; bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, and Herman’s Hermits took the world by storm in a phenomenon known as the “British Invasion”!

    This four-piece act, based out of Toronto, Ontario, brings the sound, look, and energy of this watershed moment in music history to the stage wherever they perform. With ear-catching melodies, powerful vocal harmonies, vintage tones and attire, this group of highly trained, multi-instrumentalists has thrilled countless audiences, taking them on a trip back in time!

    The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Herman’s Hermits, The Animals, Cream, The Dave Clark Five, The Zombies, The Searchers, Moody Blues, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Spencer Davis Group, The Tremeloes, The Troggs… And many more!

    Lulu’s Roadhouse opened in 1984. It was the largest nightclub of it’s kind, holding over 4000 people and setting a record for the world’s longest bar. Some of the most famous entertainers of all time performed at Lulu’s…and one of Ontario’s most famous house bands opened for them (and sometimes backed them) – the Lulu’s Roadhouse Band.

    The legendary Lulu’s Roadhouse closed its doors in April 2000, but the tradition of first-class entertainment continues as the core group, now known as the Lulu’s Band, performs at clubs, parties and events all over Southern Ontario. Since taking their show ‘on-the-road’, the group’s already huge following has grown to include new fans of all ages and they have become a popular attraction at corporate functions and fund-raising events as well as the annual Oktoberfest celebrations in Kitchener-Waterloo. The Lulu’s Band is a guaranteed ‘party’ everywhere they play, keeping the dance floor hopping with the best dance music from Classic Rock to Current Hits, Funk to Pop, and even a bit of kick-ass New Country.

The group’s last three albums were award winning international hits reaching the top of the roots and blues charts and garnering 5-star reviews in blues magazines and blogs around the globe. The bands live performances have become the talk of the town at festivals across the province including the 2016 IBC’s in Memphis Tennessee where they became fan favorites during a three-night stand at Club 152 on Beale St.

    Sunday, August 11th – ​Strange Potatoes

    Strange Potatoes was Formed in 2000, John Eaton, Derek McLean and John Miller have been using music and humour to create good times and great parties throughout the region and across the province. With an emphasis on acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies they appear as a celtic folk band but once they launch into their massive repertoire of all bets are off as to what kind of band they are. 


    Fans of every genre of popular music, Strange Potatoes focuses on audience interaction and high energy engagement as they strive to be best party band they can be! Feeding off the audience for musical direction, Strange Potatoes rarely prepare a set list but rather unleash an improvised attack on the songs that matter most at the time.   

    The results are often astonishing and sometimes hysterical,  but always entertaining.

     
    Get ready to tap your toes, clap your hands, singalong and bust a gut as these three perform some of the most memorable songs in popular music as well as some of those one hit wonders we might have wished were long forgotten.​
