The Burlington County summer concert series will return this year with tribute and cover bands from all eras and genres. The free concerts will be held most weekends from late June through August.
Among the featured performers this summer will be Fearless, a Taylor Swift tribute group featuring musician and dedicated Swiftie Jennifer Westrip. She will headline the concert series’ kickoff on Friday, June 20, at Historic Smithville Park in Eastampton.
Another attraction is 80s Revolution, a party band known for replicating hits from decade legends such as Madonna, Journey, Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi; and Larger Than Life, a tribute to the Back Street Boys and other boy bands.
Other scheduled attractions include Mariposa Galacticas, an eight-piece Philadelphia group that specializes in a mix of kumbia, klezmer and punk; the Simon and Garfunkel tribute band, Forever Simon & Garfunkel; Damn the Torpedoes, a tribute to the music of Tom Petty; and Jimmy and the Parrots, a tribute group that performs Jimmy Buffet hits.
