Jumping Jack Flash, Tribute to the Rolling Stones Saturday, July 13
Imagine walking into a nearby historic theater and happening upon a performance by the young Rolling Stones! They’re all there; Mick is prancing and gyrating, Keith looks menacing as he prowls the stage with his trusty beat-up Fender guitar. Charlie and Bill are intense as they lay down the backbeat, and Brian Jones looks regal as he lords over his stage. But there’s something amiss; this isn’t swinging London circa 1964 but rather, your city today. Put down that pint, mate… and take a closer look. It’s Jumping Jack Flash, the world’s greatest theatrical re-creation of a Rolling Stones concert!
Jumping Jack Flash is a live retrospective presentation of 50 years of the Rolling Stones’ famous (and infamous!) career. The show utilizes witty banter, on-stage video projection, and multiple wardrobe changes to take you back in time to the swinging ’60s. Didn’t see The Stones in the ’60s from the front row? Here’s your second chance! JJF performs song selections from all periods of the Stones' legendary career--worldwide hit, after hit, after hit! The greatest care has been given to the smallest details, to ensure those song performances, wardrobe and instrumentation are spot-on re-creations of the real thing. If Jumping Jack Flash doesn’t rock you as the Rolling Stones did, nobody will!
Jumping Jack Flash performs on Saturday, July 13th at 8:00 pm.

Now you can experience all the fun and stylish R&B swagger of the superstar live in concert when tribute band Bruno & The Hooligans returns to The Grove Theatre stage on Saturday, July 20th at 8:00 pm after a near sell-out in December. These consummate entertainers reproduce the complex sound and choreography of the original tunes with plenty of charm, style and spot-on musicianship to spare.

Abbey Road – A Tribute to the Beatles, Friday, July 26
Almost everyone knows that The Beatles are one of the most acclaimed bands in rock and roll history because their music has the hypnotic qualities that made teenage girls scream and artists today and yesterday cite them as one of their influences.
While many of us don’t have the opportunity to see the two surviving Beatles Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr live in concert these days, the closest thing to watching an actual Beatles concert will be Abbey Road - A Tribute to the Beatles on Friday, July 26th.
With their tight harmonies, flawless note for note renditions of Beatles hits, custom-tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to every detail, Abbey Road has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatle tribute acts in the world.
