THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

2025 will mark the 16th year of the highly successful, hit-filled summer package, THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR. The touring sensation that has crisscrossed the nation delighting audiences for over a decade returns this summer with a show full of chart-topping hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s – an undeniable 55 Billboard “Top 40” smashes. The Tour is once again joined by THE TURTLES, who also act as musical hosts for the evening. Along with THE TURTLES will be JAY and the AMERICANS, LITTLE ANTHONY, MARK LINDSAY Former Lead Singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders, THE VOGUES and THE COWSILLS.

THE TURTLES are best known for their harmony-heavy California pop sound. With such hits as “Elenore,” “She’d Rather Be with Me,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “You Showed Me,” and the title of the tour, “Happy Together,” the band ruled the airwaves in the late ‘60s. Ron Dante joins the line-up to delight with his own mega-hits, “Sugar Sugar” and “Tracy.”

We are proud to present JAY and the AMERICANS! Few groups have ever reached the musical heights with hits from 1962 – 1971. This group charted an amazing Five Billboard “Top 10” hits and Twelve “Top 20” hit records. Their breakout hit was “She Cried”. Their next chart hit was “Only In America“, which they followed with hit songs ‘”Come A Little Bit Closer”, “Cara Mia” and “This Magic Moment”, which hit the “Billboard Top 10”.

We are equally proud to present LITTLE ANTHONY, featuring all his timeless classics, including: “Tears on My Pillow”, “Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop”, “I’m on the Outside (Looking In)”, “Goin’ Out of My Head”, “Take Me Back”, “Hurt So Bad” and more.

Also joining the tour for 2025 are: MARK LINDSAY Former Lead Singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders. In addition to being the voice of The Raiders, he was the very image of the band, with his good looks & ponytail. After The Raiders, Mark had a very successful solo recording career. 17 “Top 40” Hits including: “Arizona”, “Kicks”, “Just Like Me”, “Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)”, “Good Thing”, “Steppin’ Out”, “Him or Me (What’s it Gonna Be?)”, “Hungry”, and many more.

THE VOGUES are also known for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound. They had numerous “Top 10” hits with singles such as “Five O’clock World”, “You’re the One,” “My Special Angel” and “Turn Around Look At Me,” among others.

Rounding out the bill are THE COWSILLS, the harmonious singing family (two brothers and a sister) that inspired the smash ‘60s hit television show, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY. They are sure to delight with their best-known songs, “Hair,” “Indian Lake,” “The Rain the Park & Other Things (I Love the Flower Girl)” and more.

The tour has played more than 50 plus shows a year and 2025 will be no exception.
