Beatlemania Magic A Tribute To The Beatles will be making their second appearance at the Portage Area Summerfest on Friday, August 9, 2024 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on the Main Stage at the Upper Tennis Court at the Crichton McCormick Park. The band will perform 2 sets of Beatles hits with the 1st set as the early Beatles and the 2nd set as the Sgt. Pepper's Band era Beatles. This band is a lot of fun and fans of all ages sing along to the many Beatles songs.
"Beatlemania Magic" a Tribute to the Beatles recreates the "magic" of "Beatlemania". A national touring Beatles Tribute band recreating the early Beatles concerts with identical costumes, equipment and spot on harmonies. Songs from I Want to Hold Your Hand to I'm Down played using Vox amps, Gretsch, Hofner & Rickenbacker guitars made famous
by the Beatles. The look and sound is uncanny. "Beatlemania Magic" also recreates the "Magical Mystery Tour" of Sgt. Pepper, White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road. If you missed them in 1964, you must see "Beatlemania Magic" A Tribute to the Beatles today and relive the "magic". "Beatlemania Magic" A Tribute To The Beatles recreates the "magic" of "Beatlemania" from the 1964 Ed Sullivan and touring look, to the experimental Sgt. Pepper era and finally the look of Abbey Road right before the break up of the band who changed the way music was created.
Three Of Hearts, one of the Portage Area Summerfest audience's favorite bands, returns this year on Sunday, August 11, 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Three Of Hearts formed in 2014; but, the band members each have a long history of success playing in some of the most well known performing and recording bands in Pennsylvania, California, Las Vegas, NV and around the world for the last six decades.
The group has become one of the most talked about, highly professional, tight and polished music acts around and has been performing shows for very receptive audiences while headlining festivals, events, and nightclubs with their mix of dance party music covering six decades and many genres. This very versatile group can cover pop, rock, oldies, country, and more well known songs. Three Of Hearts has also opened for many national acts and can be seen at shows covering west central Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Altoona. The band lineup of Duaine Detrick (Bass Guitar & Vocals), Denise Canby (Guitar & Vocals), Joe Tirpak (Guitar & Vocals), and Tom Romanak (Drums & Vocals) are all top notch, seasoned musicians and entertaining performers who do many shows every year and they are glad to be back at Summerfest.
You are sure to hear top hits from various music styles with something for everybody. Put on your dancing shoes and don't miss this show!
