The performance will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30. The band’s show will feature many of Peter, Paul & Mary’s popular hits, including “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Blowing in the Wind,” and “Puff The Magic Dragon,” to name a few.
“It’s going to be a night where guests will be singing along. They are going to know every song, and it’s going to be a great start to the season,” Sheldrick said.
The music that they are presenting is 1960′s folk and rock. It’s just as relevant today as when Peter, Paul & Mary were singing the songs back in the day, he said.
“The music is beautiful. The harmonies are amazing. This is really something that will be entertaining for the entire audience,” Sheldrick said.
With virtuosic musicianship and stirring vocal harmonies, the group also pays tribute to other artists such as Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell, The Mamas & The Papas, Joan Baez, The Weavers, Judy Collins, and more.
“It’s exciting to be back. We’ve had a couple seasons of COVID. Last year, we did do concerts, but people were wondering do we have to wear masks, or not, what’s going on, and there were spikes in COVID. This year, I think we’re back in the routine of just coming to the theater and letting yourself be taken over with the magic of live performances,” Sheldrick said.
The fall line-up at Fairfield Community Arts Center will also include The Great Dubois, the world’s most unique two-person circus show, on Sat., Oct.1, Karen Waldrup, an internationally known country soul singer, on Sat., Oct. 15 and Bourbon, Blues & Brews will present Scotty Bratcher on Fri., Nov. 4.
“It’s going to be an amazing season. The community and surrounding communities are going to want to be here to witness it,” said Sheldrick.
