The world's largest tribute to The Beatles, Abbey Road on the River, will return to the Big Four Station Park in Jeffersonville, IN on Memorial Day weekend, May 25-29, 2023. The 5-day music festival will feature Legends Live! Felix Cavaliere's Rascals and Micky Dolenz of The Monkees performing hits that defined a generation. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Felix Cavaliere's Rascals will bring a high energy set with mega hits like Good Lovin,
I've Been Lonely Too Long,
Groovin,
A Beautiful Morning,
A Girl Like You,
and People Got to Be Free.
Micky Dolenz, founding member, singer, and drummer for the iconic band The Monkees, will delight fans with hits like Daydream Believer,
Last Train to Clarksville,
I'm a Believer,
and many more. Dolenz, who with The Monkees earned four Grammy nominations, is a two-time Emmy Winner, has sold over 65 million records, has achieved three No. 1 hits, 6 Top 10 hits and 12 Top 4 hits.
The 2023 line-up also includes Tony Kishman, creator and band leader of Live and Let Die, a full multimedia experience with five multi-talented musicians paying tribute to the music of Paul McCartney. Tony starred for six years in the national and international tours of Broadway's smash musical Beatlemania and performs in the international Symphonic Beatles production, Classical Mystery Tour.
Watching Tony Kishman perform as Paul McCartney is as close as you can get to seeing Sir Paul himself,
says festival producer Gary Jacob, who added It's lighter on the pocketbook too.
Other headlining acts include Colombia's Classicstone performing hits from Queen, The Beatles, and more, and Chicago's BritBeat: A Tribute to the Beatles with their fantastic multimedia concert spanning all the eras of The Beatles. More than 50 bands from around the world will perform at event, including homegrown Kentuckiana acts Erin Hill, Laren Rapp and Co., DoorWay, Nick Peay, The Rigby's, Mary's Dad's Band, CMN Trio and The School of Rock.
