Free Concert by “Strawberry Fields” at Oak Ridge Park
The Union County Summer Arts Festival 2010 concert series continues on Wednesday, July 28, with a performance by Strawberry Fields. The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, led by Chairman Daniel P. Sullivan, invites the public to attend this free concert of music made popular by the Beatles, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Oak Ridge Park in the Township of Clark.
Strawberry Fields is a band that features former members of the Broadway hit musical, "Beatlemania." Their performance takes the audience on a Magical Mystery Tour through the 1960s, including favorite songs from the "White Album," "Abbey Road," and "Let It Be." When it comes time for tunes from "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," Strawberry Fields dons all the costumes featured on the famous album cover. Good Times Magazine says, "If you like the Beatles, you'll LOVE Strawberry Fields."
"Bring the entire family for an evening of Beatles music in Echo Lake Park," said Freeholder Chairman Sullivan. "Pack a picnic basket, bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and enjoy the sounds of the Fab Four under the stars."
