Hippie Party! A rock music show that pays tribute to a generation of peace and love that flourished between 1968 and 1973. A family friendly show, the band brings the stage to life in colorful hippie attire. A light show accompanies their music that reflects the energy and spirit of that period in time. A time when folk music merged into rock! When a free, loving spirit embraced the hearts and minds of young people. Hippie party is not a "band tribute" event. It is a fond remembrance of the hippie movement itself. Guests are encouraged to attend in hippie dress. Michael "Buffalo" Samaritano (guitar/vocal) was a stunt man and brings excitement to the stage and audience with his wild antics and vocal renditions of Neil Young, James Taylor and Rolling Stones songs. Band leader (keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter), John "Big Byrd" Covert, has opened shows for Tower of Power, Simon & Garfunkel, Sons of Champlin, Chad and Jeremy, Gary US Bonds and many others. His original songs are included in a European CD release ("California love-in") that also features "Steppenwolf. Featured in the show are songs of the grateful dead, jefferson airplane, jessie collin young, scott mackenzie, bob dylan, creedence clearwater, rolling stones, beatles and more..
