Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana\, Flavio Naves\, Lancaster Ferreira\, Bruno Falcão and Fred Barley started in 2010. Marcos\, the singer\, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded\, as if he had written them himself. The reason for this was that Marcos really identified with the songs and never imitated John or Paul. He simply sang with his own voice and from his heart. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!”Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013. The rest is history… \nDisclaimer: Dancing is permitted during all shows at The Bend Theater. By attending\, you acknowledge that audience members may stand\, move\, and dance during performances.

The little Bug follows Jim home but Jim believes that the owner of the car dealership\, Peter Thorndyke\, is playing a trick on him. Jim decides to try out the car\, and experiences its magical nature\, fahrvergnügen\, if you will\, for himself. Jim repairs the little car and Tennessee names the him “Herbie”. Behind the wheel of Herbie\, Jim becomes more successful in racing. Thorndyke wants Herbie back\, but Jim refuses and Thorndyke decides to race against him. Thorndyke sabotages Herbie before a big race known as the “El Dorado” – an obvious parody of the then-new “Baja 1000” race in Mexico.

The trio are determined to beat Thorndyke who will stop at nothing in order to gain a victory – and Herbie.

SUMMARY:Simple Men & Southern Nights
DESCRIPTION:Simple Men & Southern Nights\nA Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Rock\nSimple Men and Southern Nights was formed in 2021 during the downtime of the pandemic.  Award winning entertainment producer of Magnificent Events & Entertainment and the founder of the world-renowned cover band Maggie Speaks Dave Calzaretta finally had the time to create this passion project. \n“I met Randall Hall (formerly of Lynyrd Skynyrd) back in 2018 when I started the Celebrity Sit-In Program for our corporate band Maggie Speaks.  We became great friends and I enjoyed playing this catalog and hearing his stories of life on the road with Lynyrd Skynyrd.  As I dove into the music\, I really enjoyed the intricacies of the music.  Most people think Skynyrd is three chords and the truth\, but it couldn’t be any further from that.  Each song is a crafted work of art in and of itself.  I wanted to create a project that paid homage to the group and truly highlighted the sense of detail they put into their songs.  During COVID\, I finally had the one commodity that I needed to make it happen…TIME!” \nThe dueling lead guitars of Mike Aquino and Jimmy Riley are certainly the highlights of the show.  Both have performed with a who’s who of rock and roll over their careers\, including the former lead singer of Journey Steve Augeri\, Boston’s Tommy DeCarlo\, Mike Reno of Loverboy\, Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger\, Jim Peterick of Survivor and many\, many more. \nCelebrity Guest Randall Hall (formerly of Lynyrd Skynyrd) is often added to the band to bring some star power to the shows.  Additionally\, Derek St. Holmes\, vocalist of the legendary Ted Nugent Band (“Stranglehold”) has also guested with the band. \nDisclaimer: Dancing is permitted during all shows at The Bend Theater. By attending\, you acknowledge that audience members may stand\, move\, and dance during performances. Enjoy the music and embrace the energy!
