They don't have a VW bus. But Andover resident Bob Cleary and his band, '60s Invasion, will look to transport people back to the 1960s with their music.
The Department of Community Services invites the community to a free concert at the Park on Wednesday, July 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. to see "New England's premiere '60s band." The band performs selections from the early 1960s such as "New Orleans" by Gary U.S. Bonds and "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley, and then proceeds further into the decade with "Please, Please Me" by the Beatles and "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen. Other '60s selections include "Good Lovin'" by the Rascals, "Midnight Confession" by the Grass Roots, and "Hair," from the Broadway musical with the same name.
The band performs throughout New England including on the Mount Washington Cruise Ship on Lake Winnipesaukee and for the Lowell Spinners Red Sox minor league baseball team. It is led by Dave Vose on percussion along with Jack Little on bass, New Hampshire's Dave Dunham on lead vocals and Cleary on guitar.
The Park is located at the corner of Bartlet and Chestnut streets. In the event of inclement weather the concert will be held on Thursday, July 31.
