The Return with special guests Catfish Frye Band
Catfish Frye Band - 7pm
The Return - 9pm
The Return got its start back in 1995 when four young friends got together to play their favorite Beatles songs just for the fun of it. It wasn't long before they played in front of an audience at the request of a friend and as it turned out, were very well received. That showwhich was supposed to be a one-time thing--led to another gig, which led to another and so on until the band found themselves playing on a regular basis. They decided to go ahead and make it official. They named themselves the Roaches.
As time went on, they began to polish up their act a bit and became fixated on the idea of striving for the highest level of authenticity possible. They wanted to recreate the early sixties Beatles concert experience from the tiniest detail (John Lennon's on-stage gum-chewing) to the biggest, most expensive details (using exact replicas of the instruments and gear the Beatles used). While they were learning to comb their moptops just right and finding the right Beatle boots and black suits to wear, they were also learning each song note for note, rhythm for rhythmgetting the signature moves and 'looks' of the Fab Four down pat, too. They practiced relentlessly--with a growing passion for getting their show just right. In the years that followed a few members came and went, and the band took on a more professional presence. They got an agent, changed their name to the Return, and began to command the attention of more widely renowned clients not only in the United States, but in multiple other countries as wellincluding England.
Today the band still strives to maintain the utmost level of authenticity in their show. In fact, they are known for it. They've played thousands of shows and the reaction is the same every time. People are amazed at how much the Return sounds and looks just like the Beatles. The Return has crafted a truly authentic, entertaining, and very exciting show. And in doing so, the band not only delivers a near perfect reproduction of a live Beatles concert--they capture the very essence of the Beatles themselves.
Catfish Frye Band is the Tri-Cities based "Rockin Boogie Blues" band! If you like to feel the soulful old school electric blues along with tapping your feet to the boogie feeling, then this is the band for you. Duane "Catfish" Frye plays the old school Chicago harmonica along with the more modern style that is growing fast in the blues world. Catfish plays from the soul and you will know it from the first note. Adam Graybeal has been well known for long time in this region as a flat out smokin' blues guitarist. His seasoned vocals shine thru as well. You do not want to miss when Catfish and Adam start "cuttin heads" - a battle to behold. Aaron Faust is the backbone of CFB. He truly gets what being a blues drummer is all about. His high end vocals will bring the chill bumps to anyone that "feels" the music. Jamey Gillenwater IS da man on da bass! Feelin' the groove and laying it down! Killer player and a great singer. If you like to surrender yourself to "feelin' the music" then Catfish Frye Band is for you!
Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Kids under 12 are free. Beer garden and food vendors will be open for this concert. No outside food and beverages are allowed.
