Aug 25, 2017: SCVTV Presents The OutWest Concert Series: An Evening With John Zipperer at The MAIN
Aug 25, 2017 08:00 pm

A former TV actor and stuntman, JOHN ZIPPERER’S second chance came rolling down the highway of life, not on a carefully controlled movie or commercial set, but while changing a tire for a friend along the 285 freeway in Atlanta, GA. John was hit by a 10-wheel oil truck. After flying 40 feet and landing in the hospital, John was told by the critical care doctor, “You should be dead!” To John this seemed like a clear sign that life is, or could be, too short. He packed everything he owned into his 1976 Camaro and headed out to Los Angeles to pursue a life in music. It was ZipTime!

John’s clear voice, infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics reach fans in places that they didn’t know existed. Soon everyone is singing along, swaying, chair dancing, head bobbing, and clapping. Fans remark repeatedly about the joy that is evident when the band is on stage – joy in their playing, joy for their audience, joy from their audience. John Zipperer delivers a unique and refreshing blend of rock, folk, country, and blues.

SCVTV Presents The OutWest Concert Series is made possible by SCVTV, OutWest, Western Music Association California Chapter, The Magazine of Santa Clarita, and a special “Thank You” to FM Q101.5 Q Country.

Doors Open 7:00 p.m. Concert 8:00 p.m.
General Admission $25.00 WMA, SCVHS, FOHP Members $20.00
Reservations 661.347.9700

Aug 26, 2017: The Sun Kings (Beatles Tribute) – Concerts in the Park at Central Park
Aug 26, 2017 07:00 pm

A Beatles Tribute as Nature Intended
Audiences and critics alike absolutely love The Sun Kings’ energy and spot on recreation of The Beatles’ music. The Sun Kings are considered one of the premier Beatles tribute acts in the country. Packing theatres and selling out shows along the West Coast and beyond, The Sun Kings continue to amaze their fans and win over skeptics, with their uncanny channeling and respect for the music they perform. With a repertoire of over 150 songs The Sun Kings shine in concert with arrangements and vocal harmonies delivered with the authenticity and vitality that recall the earliest Beatles performances. Experience The Sun Kings in concert and you will hear the concert The Beatles never gave!
