Sharkey & The Sparks is back by popular demand! The full-band line up features Sharkey McEwen -- well known to music lovers throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond as the lead guitarist and integral member of The Slambovian Circus of Dreams -- Ben McEwen, Sharkey's fabulous son; and a select group of talented musician friends. This multi-generational, multi-talented ensemble is heart-warming to behold. Fueled by their passion for this classic era in popular music, Sharkey & The Sparks will be performing beloved tunes from the '60s, '70s and beyond. You'll likely hear Beatles, Beach Boys, early Fleetwood Mac, Dick Dale, U2, The Cure, Santana, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and more, along with S&S originals. Sharkey & The Sparks full-band debut on The Towne Crier main stage January 2022 was a resounding success, their second show January 2023 was nearly sold out. This will be the band's 10th performance here and we're delighted to have them back. With The Slambovian Circus of Dreams, Sharkey has headlined major music festivals across the US, Canada and UK. His intuitive, evocative playing is a key ingredient of the band's magic. Sharkey McEwen plays with full, round, ringing tones that hang in the air or the mind, like Pink Floyd's David Gilmour; But he also plays earthy slide guitar nearly as well as Sonny Landreth or Derek Trucks. - The Daily Gazette Tickets $30 advance, $35 door O-o-h Child Sweethearts video clip Bring Back The Color video Misirlou video Sunny Side of Heaven video Website Facebook: Sharkey & The Sparks   ALL SALES ARE FINAL DINNER RESERVATIONS REQUIRE 1 ENTREE PER PERSON SHOW ONLY TICKETS ADMITTED 15 MINUTES BEFORE SHOWTIME ADVANCE SALE PRICE ENDS 1 HOUR BEFORE DOORS
