The Hippodrome, Springfield, MA
October 18, 2014
It's been a long time since we've Rocked n' Rolled. . .let's
get it back!
On Saturday, Oct. 18, the Hippodrome, aka Paramount Theater (cinematreasures.org/theaters/1261),
in Springfield, MA will rock the region with a triple bill of Classic Rock.
Over the past 15 years, the theater underwent a 1.3 million dollar makeover and
has been reinvigorated over the past 5 years with live rock shows.
That beat begins, led by the radiant torch of Indie-Rock
sounds from songstress Shanta Paloma. Possessing a pure rock voice and a gift
for guitar magic, she will perform originals, new music, and select covers.
“Crazy On You” will feature music from 70's female stalwarts
“Heart,” with Cassandra Demers on lead vocals and Meredith Robinson on vocals
and guitar. Lead guitarist Kevin Prefontaine will kick “Heart” classics into
high gear for a passionate tribute.
“Back in Black,” led since 1990 by solid rocker Miguel
Goncalves, is an “AC/DC” tribute band, providing a full throttle “AC/DC”
experience. With Halloween around the corner, expect surprise musical
happenings.

The rock engine will tear down the main runway in full roar
with the crescendo of “American Zeppelin” featuring charismatic lead vocalist
Livio Gravini. Livio goes back to the 80's in the local and regional music
scene. Bandmates Paul Lusky, Ned Sikes, and John Myslinskilook provide a visual
and sonic experience that reverberates in sympathetic rhapsody to “Led Zeppelin.”
The revelry begins at 7:30 at the Hippodrome, 1700 Main St.,
Springfield, MA. The cost is $25 for advance tickets and $30 at the door. You
can get tickets at the Stonewall Tavern next door at 1716 Main St. or enclose a
self-addressed envelope with check or money order sent to American Zeppelin, P.O.
Box 1032, Granby, MA 01033.
