Jefferson Starship, starring band founder Paul Kantner headline the OneMain Financial Main Stage!
PAUL KANTNER founded JEFFERSON AIRPLANE in 1965. THE AIRPLANE were the biggest rock group in America during the 1960s and headlined the original WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL in 1969. And like THE BEATLES with whom they are critically compared, they lasted a mere 7 years...though their influence and impact on rock music continues well into the 21st century. In 1974 Mr. KANTNER created JEFFERSON STARSHIP and again enjoyed chart-topping success. PAUL and JEFFERSON AIRPLANE were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, the same year as PINK FLOYD. JEFFERSON STARSHIP, the name created by PAUL for his 1971 solo debut “Blows Against The Empire” recording, has endured 40 years as one of rock’s most legendary bands.
The smash hit musical “The Jersey Boys” which opened on Broadway, November 6, 2005, is based on one of the most successful 1960`s rock and roll groups of our time. The Cast of The Jersey Four is an explosive tribute to Frankie and The Four Seasons that recaptures the original hits from the musical as well as many other Top 10 songs that are not featured in the Tony Award winning hit, including SWEARIN` TO GOD, GREASE and many others! Along with all the recognizable tunes—such as SHERRY, BIG GIRLS DON`T CRY, RAG DOLL, WALK LIKE A MAN, and WHO LOVES YOU—The Jersey Four incorporates trivia, stories about The Four Seasons, humor, audience participation and encourages you to sing-a-long with their fabulous band.

“Beatlemania magic” a Tribute to the Beatles recreates the “magic” of “Beatlemania.” A national touring Beatles Tribute band performing the early Beatles concerts with identical costumes, equipment and spot on harmonies. Songs from I Want to Hold Your Hand to I’m Down played using Vox amps, Gretsch, Hofner & Rickenbacker guitars made famous by the Beatles. “Beatlemania magic” also recreates the “Magical Mystery Tour” of Sgt Pepper, White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road. The look and sound is uncanny.
Relive the Magic—if you missed them in 1964, you must see “Beatlemania magic” a Tribute to the Beatles.
He’ll be in Your Heart and Soul—the likeness and voice are so close you’ll truly believe it’s Rod Stewart.
All you need to know about the stunning talent of Rick Larrimore is summed up in this quote from Tim Collins, music industry consultant and former personal manager for Aerosmith: “Rick is so close to the real deal that it scared me! I thought Rod was right there in front of me. I almost couldn’t tell the difference. An incredible night of entertainment that rocked my soul. I have seen many bands that pay tribute to major artists like Rod, but Rick’s ability to capture the little nuances of Rod Stewart was utterly amazing.”
