Remembering the 1960s: A Tribute to Four Iconic Singers of the Era

 

Travel with us to the beautiful Camelot Theatre in Palm Springs for Remembering the '60s, a dynamic matinee celebrating four of the era’s most beloved voices: Connie Francis, Ray Charles, Lesley Gore, and Bobby Darin, all brought to life by an all-star cast of acclaimed tribute performers.

 

Experience the dazzling Kristi King as Connie Francis, whose remarkable vocal range and heartfelt delivery capture the charm and spirit of America’s sweetheart. With a career spanning over three decades performing on major stages from Las Vegas to Palm Springs, Kristi brings timeless hits like “Where the Boys Are” and “Stupid Cupid” to life with warm nostalgia.

 

Then, prepare to be mesmerized by Pete Peterkin, an America’s Got Talent finalist whose electrifying portrayal of Ray Charles is both soulful and exhilarating. From the moment he sits down at the piano, Peterkin embodies the genius and passion of the Genius of Soul, performing favorites such as “Georgia on My Mind” and “Hit the Road Jack.”

 

Adding to the magic, award-winning impressionist Bethany Owen shines as Lesley Gore, capturing the distinctive energy and emotion that made Gore one of the defining female voices of the 1960s. Her powerful renditions of songs like “It’s My Party” and “You Don’t Own Me” celebrate the spirit of youthful independence that continues to resonate today.

 

Finally, versatile vocalist Anthony Bernasconi takes the stage as Bobby Darin, channeling the charisma, swing, and effortless style of one of America’s great entertainers. With his smooth sound and dynamic stage presence, Anthony delivers favorites such as “Mack the Knife” and “Beyond the Sea” with timeless flair.

 

Your excursion includes time for lunch on your own in downtown Palm Springs, allowing you to enjoy the city’s lively dining scene and charming ambiance before the show.
