Bandana was formed in 1990, after lead vocalist, Tony "Butch" Gerace, retired from touring to raise his family in Venice. Formerly with Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs, Gerace sang with Mitch Miller, played the Johnny Carson Show, the Milton Berle Show and toured the world with his wonderful blend of classic rock favorites, including his own Golden Record hit, Lil Red Riding Hood and other Pharaoh’s hits, like Wooly Bully. Since its formation, Bandana has won the hearts of thousands of local fans. This will be their 5th year on our stage.
Opening will be Jimmy Jay and the Jaymen-playing your favorite Classic Rock, Doo-Wop, Jazz and standard tunes.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers’ and cowboys’ provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.
