Forty years ago a musical revolution swept America! Sandwiched between the Monterey Pop Festival (1967) and Woodstock Festival (1969), the music of the time and the charisma of its most iconic artists- from Jimi Hendrix to Sly and the Family Stone to Janis Joplin to Grace Slick – still resonate today. Aquarius is a unique, colorful and authentic tribute that captures the excitement of this magical era — a six-member band that brings alive the spirit and signature hits of the late 60s. Whether performing for a concert in the park, street festival, casino or private event, audiences both large and small have enjoyed this journey back to an earlier era of change in our country!
Through the media, which focused this past year on the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love and on the upcoming 40th anniversary of Woodstock, the 60’s has resurged into the mainstream and perhaps may be one reason that the band has sold out more than one venue prior to performing, based on the concept alone! The colorful costumes, fast-moving show and groovy on-stage banter invoke nostalgia in those who experienced the late 60s, and offer a sense of recognition for a younger generation just now discovering this great music. Complete with wardrobe changes, Aquarius re-creates dozens of well-known songs with full rock instrumentation (two guitars, bass, keyboards and drums) and rich vocal harmonies.
The AQUARIUS repertoire includes timeless classics of the era including songs from The Mamas & the Papas, Roy Orbison, Steppenwolf, The Moody Blues, The Guess Who and Joe Cocker, and offers up charismatic performances in the likes of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Sly Stone, John Fogerty and Jimi Hendrix.
