What’s old is new again. That is certainly the case with the high energy group The Headstones. These guys were playing top 40 rock ‘n’ roll back in the sixties and now they’re doing it all over again! This is not just a band, this is top-shelf entertainment.
The amazing thing about this group is that five original members and another musician that attended the same high school at the same time are back playing their music from the sixties. They still possess the same passion for playing, but now have much better equipment and a premium sound system to deliver the songs that everyone from that era still loves. The music takes people back to their youth and all the good times they had. Many more of today’s young people are discovering how good the music, from back in the day, really is.
“These guys are really good!” said Les Cook, Program Director and morning DJ for WAKY 103.5 FM, Kentuckiana’s Oldies Station. “I have seen a lot of shows and heard a lot of bands over the years, and when it comes to rock ‘n’ roll from the 60’s and 70’s, nobody is better than The Headstones.”
The group played to a sold out performance on July 1, 2006 for The Headstones Reunion Concert held at the renovated State Theater in their hometown of Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The response was overwhelming when almost 500 people showed up and packed the house to sing and dance the night away. The band is now targeting corporate events, class reunions from the sixties and promoting their own annual events like The Headstones’ New Year’s Eve Bash.
