3 pm : Beach Boys Tribute & Eagles Tribute Bands - KOTA Theater
Woodie & The Longboards
Woodie and the Longboards is one of the most in demand cover acts in the country. Performing a variety of hit music from the 50’s to the 80’s “Woodie” has kept all of their clients happy by providing the most professional music with a highly interactive and entertaining show.
Woodie and the Longboards begun in 2002 by John “Woodie” Keating. Having just left a position as frontman for a Disney house band, John assembled musicians he had enjoyed working with over the years to focus on performing music from the 60’s and 70’s. This gave rise to “That 70’s Band” and “That 60’s Band”. An agent from the Pacific Northwest asked if they had a more “beachy” sounding name that they could use to book as a Beach Boys Tribute for an Oregon Casino. John quickly decided on Woodie and the Longboards, they played Oregon, and have never looked back. Since that time they have performed Beach Party themed shows for a variety of clients across the country.
7 pm : Heartache Tonight - KOTA Theater
Heartache Tonight is the most authentic sounding tribute to The Eagles available today. Made up of the members of the very popular Woodie and the Longboards Beach Boys Tribute, Heartache Tonight have been singing 4 and 5 part harmonies together for years. With five different singers, they are able to capture the vocal nuances of The Eagles. They also feature the three guitar approach that is necessary to truly recreate their unique blend of country and rock.
