Undoubtedly, the 1960s were the big bang of popular music. No other decade can touch the number of timeless songs we still cherish from the 60s. Take a step back in time with New England’s premier 1960s tribute band, 60’s Thunder. Be transported to the “decade of change” with a diverse song selection delivered with youthful exuberance, authentic instruments, and sweet harmonies. Dance the night away to tracks by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Motown classics, and many more. Can you dig it?
