2 concerts coming to Wellsboro
The Deane Center for the Performing Arts is hosting two more fall concerts this month, The Country Jamboree next Friday, Oct. 17 and Always ABBA on Saturday, Oct. 25.
Both concerts will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Coolidge Theatre, 104 Main St. Wellsboro. Audience members are invited to sing along.
“For a magical evening, step back in time with The Country Jamboree, a concert that channels the glory days of country music from foot-stomping hoedowns to heart-wrenching ballads,” a news release said. “Featured will be songs by legends like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Meryl Haggard, Tammy Wynette and more. The incredibly talented cast has performed with some of country music’s biggest stars and captures the essence of their greatest hits to take the audience on a journey through the decades.”
Fifty-three years after their debut in 1972, “ABBA remains one of the most beloved and enjoyed bands of its kind,” a news release said. “Timeless and transcending, their music has touched and sparked an undeniable energy in audiences of all ages. Always ABBA makes it easy to see why the band plays to sold out venues across North America and makes them the greatest ABBA tribute as they offer a night the audience is sure to love.”
