Rivera Quintet to give free concert Sunday
WOODBURY >> Residents are invited to take a stroll down memory lane to listen and maybe even dance to 50’s and 60’s popular tunes of pop, rock, and DoWop hits, performed by the Rivera Quintet. This nostalgic fun-filled concert is scheduled for Sunday, May 21 at 4 p.m. at the Woodbury Senior/Community Center.
The Rivera Quintet has been a dominating force on the entertainment scene for over four decades. Beginning with their East Coast tour with the Beach Boys in the mid-sixties, the Rivera Quintet have logged more than a million miles of travel and have performed on club and concert stages in virtually every state and Canada.
The group has recorded several hit singles including Messin’ with the Kid, Detroit City, Do I Love You, Lucille and the million plus seller California Sun.
Members of the Rivera Quintet include Bob McCarthy (vocals and keyboards), Mark Fiske (vocals and percussion), Dave Robicheau (electric guitars and vocals), Kevin Templeton (drums and vocals), and Greg Allen (electric bass and vocals).
This toe-tapping concert will include music from Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, Fats Domino, the Beach Boys and the Temptations.
There is no charge to attend; the concert is part of the free 2017 Sunday concert series sponsored by Friends of Woodbury Senior/Community Center.
Funding for the May 21st musical program is through a grant from the Woodbury-Bethlehem Community Music Foundation, Inc. through the Thomaston Savings Bank, the Leroy Anderson Foundation, the Women’s Club of Woodbury and music lover patrons.
