Beatles Tribute Band “Jukebox” Concert to Benefit Waters Farm
Internationally popular
Beatles tribute band “Jukebox” will be performing a benefit concert for
Waters Farm Preservation, Inc. on Saturday,
July 31, 2010
at Point Breeze Restaurant, 114 Point Breeze
Road, in Webster, MA starting at 9:00 p.m.
The four young men from
Puerto Rico who make up the band “Jukebox”—Heri Palos on bass, piano and
vocals; Jacob Rodriquez on guitar, piano, and vocals; Juan Carlos del
Valle on drums and vocals; and Francisco Cairol on guitar and
vocals—have built an international following who recognize their talents
and their passion for the music that defined generations. This is
classic vintage Beatles rock and roll!
Jukebox played an outdoor
benefit at Waters Farm several years ago and immediately developed a
local following that has requested their return. Their connection to
their audience is electric and they have a “Beatle-mania” presence all
their own. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to re-live the music,
the look and the melodies that made the Beatles so famous.
Waters Farm is a carefully
preserved and protected hilltop homestead built in 1757 by Stephen
Waters. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and
overlooks beautiful Lake Manchaug. Its stunning views of the lake,
barns, outbuildings, and pristine farmland offer visitors a rare glimpse
of 19th century New England farm life at its best. All proceeds from
this concert will benefit Waters Farm. The concert begins at 9:00
p.m. with opening act “Three Guys Plumbing”. Tickets are $ 15.00 and are
available by calling Phil at
508-476-3366
or Point Breeze at 508-943-0404. Additional ticket locations will be
announced in the coming weeks.
