'The Senders'

for Gulch show

The Tekoa Empire Theatre will present "Peace, Love and Music" for its annual Slippery Gulch show.

The show will feature “The Senders” who specialize in '50s, '60s and '70s popular music that combines their love of surf music, the Beatles and Elvis. The show will be Saturday, June 18, at 2 p.m.

The main feature that sets the band apart from others is its desire to play the tunes as close to the originals as possible. Strong vocals and four-part harmonies are an essential part of the sound in order to recreate the great vocal hits by the Beach Boys, Beatles and '50s Doo-Wop groups.

Local singing and dancing talent will highlight music from Broadway and the movies of the 60s.

The ticket price will be $5 for adults and $3 for juveniles.
