Special to The R-C

The Douglas County Parks & Recreation Department continues its GE Energy Family Summer Concert Series on June 18 at Minden Park from 6:30-8:30 p.m. with Imagine, a Beatles Tribute.

Bring a low back chair or blanket and enjoy an evening of music in the park. Food will be available to purchase provided by the Lions Club. The concert is free to the community thanks to the following organizations and business: Town of Minden, GE Energy, Carson Valley Inn, Dr. James the Dentist, Edgewood Tahoe Golf, Walmart, Park Place AM/PM, Starbuck's, Carson Valley Medical Center and Sullivan Law, Lake Tahoe Marine.

Remembering the Fab Four is what this Beatles tribute band is all about. From their convincing Liverpudlian accents and Beatles wit to their pointed boots and totally fab gear, what you'll experience during their show is pure magic. It's like seeing the Beatles in concert for the first time.

The four lads joined in 1993 and have performed more than 900 shows across the United States and abroad. Over the years, the group has had the privilege of sharing the stage with such notable acts as the Beach Boys, Jay Leno, Chicago, They Might Be Giants, the Temptations, Badfinger, America, Glen Campbell, the Mandrells, the Shirelles, and the Buckinghams. Among many other highlights are their performance at the Nokia Sugarbowl in New Orleans for a national TV audience, being the first act to ever perform at the 20,000-seat USANA amphitheater in Salt Lake City, Utah, and 21 performances at the Shanghai Music Festival in China. Beatlemania is truly alive and well on mainland China.
