Get some ‘Good Lovin’ at The Fred this weekend

Felix Cavalier, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is set to take the stage at The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater this Friday and Saturday nights.

The Sept. 26 and 27 concerts will be the final shows in the Lexus of South Atlanta 2008 Summer Concert Series.

Cavaliere co-founded the Young Rascals in 1965 along with Dino Danelli, Eddie Brigati and Gene Cornish. From 1965 to 1969, the Rascals were one of the best selling groups on the pop charts featuring Felix sung hits such as “Good Lovin’,” “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning” and “People Got to Be Free.” 

Through all of the years, Cavaliere continues to ride high on the wave of rock superstardom with his group Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals. With Mike Servers on guitar and vocals, Vinnie Santoro on drums and vocals and Mark Prentice holding down bass and vocals, the sound remains true to the source and leader’s vision.

“Felix Cavaliere sings such familiar songs,” said Lauren Yawn, executive director of The Peachtree City Tourism Association. “This should be a show that everyone can enjoy!”

Gates open at 6:30 p.m., the opener will begin at 8 p.m. and Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals will take the stage at 9 p.m.

Also, taking place throughout the weekend will be both a silent and a live auction benefiting the American Red Cross. The Fred will auction off a number of items including signed CD’s and guitars from both Series I and Series II as well as various items donated by its sponsors. The silent auction will take place throughout the evening, and the live auction will begin prior to Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals taking the stage.

Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster at 404-249-6400, online at www.ticketmaster.com or at the box office. Individual tickets range in price from $34 to $67.

The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater is located at 201 McIntosh Trail in Peachtree City, Ga. The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 12 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays (show days only).
