During the late 60’s and 70’s, The Kritters were a very successful

rock band. This hop band played for the radio station WLS, and

performed with the disc jockeys at dances and concerts. In the

past, they were also the opening act for the Moody Blues, Kinks, Eric Burton & the Animals, etc.

They recreate songs from the 60’s & 70’s and they play them the way they originally sounded.

Everyone LOVES the StingRays Rock & Roll, from Rockabilly – tons of Six-

ties – to the 70’s. Their music, great rapport with audiences and look

& moves, have made them festival favorites throughout the Midwest – filling dance floors (and lawns) the

entire night. They’re passionate about Rock & Roll and play it authentically. Excellent musicians and popular with crowds, they’ve opened for some of the greatest names in Rock & Roll.

Do you love The Beatles AND the 60’s? Then you don’t want to

miss this concert. The Beatnix, the #1 rated Beatles & 60’s Rock ‘n Roll Tribute band will have you up and dancing and singing along to some of the most popular hits
