Barnstead Parks And Recreation Summer Concert Series

Please join Barnstead Parks and Recreation in welcoming the Rockin’ Daddios to the summer concert stage on Saturday, July 16.  This fun, four man acappella group performs some of the best-loved songs from the 40s, 50s and 60s in a doo-wop style.  The Rockin’ Daddios will share stories about the groups that performed the songs, as well as period trivia, commercial jingles, and TV theme songs.  The music of this bygone era has the power to conjure up many special memories and bring the listener back to a more innocent time.  You’ll hear songs like “Book of Love”, “Blue Moon”, “Teenager in Love” and “Little Star” to name a few. The songs are family friendly and guaranteed to warm your heart and bring a smile to your face.

 

Inspired from vastly popular “Men’s Medley” originally featured in Irene Descehenes’ “Moments to Remember I and II” 50’s reviews, the Rockin’ Daddios consist of Lakes Region residents Jim Rogato, Bo Guyer and Angelo Gentile, who have been performing together in various shows and reviews for well over 10 years. Collectively, their community theater experience spans six decades! And now featuring the vocals and guitar magic of Drew Seneca. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Rockin’ Daddios. Their music will make you smile.

 

This free show starts at 6:00 pm at the Barnstead Parade Grounds.  The Barnstead Congregational Church will be on hand offering concessions.  Bring a lawn chair or blanket, and a friend or two.  As always, smoking and alcohol are prohibited on the grounds.  See you at the show!
