Celebrate the end of summer break with The Neverly Brothers
at Gabis Arboretum at Purdue
Northwest on Friday, August 12.
The Neverly Brothers’ concerts are a tribute to one of the
most exciting chapters in music history: the birth, near death and resurrection
of rock n’ roll. With their one-of-a-kind, high-energy stage performance,
you’ll be led on a guided tour of rock history — complete with vintage wardrobe
changes and stories behind their chronological song sequence — as they perform
hits by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Beatles,
Rolling Stones and many more. This family-friendly show includes familiar
songs, suitable for all ages.
“We know that most kids start school this week so we wanted
to give them one more taste of summer to stay up late and dance the night
away,” said Stephanie Blackstock, executive director for Gabis Arboretum.
“We’ll have food trucks, ice cream, popcorn and we are encouraging all families
to wear their glow-in-the-dark gear for extra fun.”
The show starts at 7 p.m. with Chris & Lou as the
opening act. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. Wildrose Brewing Company and local
food vendors will be on-site selling beer, wine and food. No outside alcohol is
allowed.
Tickets are $15 in advance and increase to $20 the week of
for non-members. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at pnw.edu/gabis-concerts.
The Neverly Brothers concert is sponsored by CR Painting,
NIPSCO, and Wildrose Brewing Company.
