SilverSounds NW loves entertaining audiences with solos, a rock band, clever narration, costuming, choreography, humor and hi-jinks. This year you will be taken back to a simpler time — roller skates on your shoes, bubble gum with comics in the wrapper, tie-dyed shirts with bell-bottomed pants.
And you’ll enjoy songs from your youth by memorable groups such as The Everly Brothers, The Jersey Boys, The Rat Pack, Elvis, and from the Summer of 69 with songs of performers who entertained the world at Woodstock.
We believe that “You are never too old to rock and roll!”
