An Evening of Solid Gold Headliners: Peter and the Hermits
Peter and the Hermits are the most exciting, in-demand ’60s act on tour. They have 14 singles, and seven of their albums went gold—with 60 million total records sold. Their number one hit singles were “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “I’m Into Something Good,” and “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter.” Other huge hits were “Listen People,” “Silhouettes,” “There’s a Kind of Hush,” “Can’t you Hear my Heartbeat,” “A Must to Avoid,” and “No Milk Today.”
Co-headliners The Brooklyn Bridge
Coheadlining the show is The Brooklyn Bridge. The Bridge formed when The Crests’ lead singer Johnny Maestro joined with Dion’s backup singers and the Rhythm Method’s horn players. In addition to Johnny’s hits with The Crests—“16 Candles,” “The Angels Listened In” and “Step by Step”—the Bridge’s hits include “The Worst that Could Happen,” “Welcome Me Love,” “Blessed is the Rain,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and “Your Husband, My Wife.” Lead singer Joe Esposito is amazing as he carries on Maestro’s legacy. Joe sang “Lady, Lady, Lady” in the 1983 hit movie Flashdance and “You’re the Best” in “Karate Kid.” He also collaborated with Donna Summer on “Heaven Knows” and “Bad Girls.”
The Happenings, Bobby Brooks Wilson Open An Evening of Solid Gold
The Happenings featuring original lead singer Bob Miranda had four gold records: “See You in September,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Go Away Little Girl” and “My Mammy.” His tribute to veterans, “Proud to Be an American” will bring down the house.
Opening the show will be Bobby Brooks Wilson, the son of Jackie Wilson (“Mr. Excitement”). Bobby recreates the on-stage persona of Jackie, including his uncanny resemblance, voice and moves on songs like “Lonely Teardrops,” “Higher and Higher,” “To Be Loved,” and “I’ll be Satisfied.” Jackie’s vocal range and stage moves inspired singers like Elvis Presley, James Brown and Michael Jackson. Bobby Brooks Wilson is the perfect up-tempo opening act that will bring the F.M. Kirby Center audience to their feet.
