CLAYTON — The Thousand Islands Per-forming Arts Fund’s summer season at theClayton Opera House takes a “fab” step in-to nostalgia this evening with 1964…TheTribute, in concert at 7:30.

Tickets are $35 reserved and $30 generaladmission.

Since the early 1980s, this band, praisedby Rolling Stone magazine as the “BestBeatles Tribute on Earth,” has been per-forming around the globe.

Recreating an early-’60s live Beatlesconcert, with period instruments, cloth-ing, hairstyles, and onstage banter, 1964 islauded by many for its accuracy.

Band members are Mark Benson asJohn Lennon; Ricky Vacca as Paul McCart-ney; Tom Work as George Harrison andBobby Potter as Ringo Starr.

Mark Benson began his involvementwith music at age 8, playing drums and pi-ano. At 17 he started playing guitar. Interest-ed in becoming a luthier, Mark began his in-ternship at Lay’s Guitar Repair in Akron,Ohio where he learned to build, repair, andrestore guitars as well as other stringed in-struments. He went on to make guitars forEddie Van Halen and Jackson Browne andcontinues to rebuild, repair and restore allof the instruments for 1964. Mr. Bensonstarted the band in 1984. He currently pro-duces all aspects of the show and produced1964 CDs “All You Need Is Live,” “Nine HoursIn November” and “Bootleg Vol. 1.”

Ricky Vacca reports his interest in musicbegan when he was a young child, listen-ing to his parents’ collection of 1950s rockand roll, Beatles songs and Motown on 45rpm vinyl records. He bought his first gui-tar when he was 9 years old from a friendfor $5, and, being left handed, he had toplay the guitar upside down and eventual-ly taught himself to play and sing all thesongs headmired. He also learned how tomodify, repair and restore guitars and am-

plifiers and is currently the owner of hisown business doing just that.

Mr. Vacca’s “Beatles” career began at theage of 27 when, like fellow left-hander PaulMcCartney, he moved from guitar to bass,realizing that more bands needed bassplayers than guitar players. His look, hisvoice and his ability to play bass left hand-ed quickly landed him a spot in the “Beat-lemania” Broadway road tours and he’ssince been hired by many of the top Beatleshows to improve their casts.

Tom Work, a founding member of 1964,began playing guitar in 1961, but he hasother creative outlets, too. “Performing inthis act hasn’t left me much free time, but Ifreelance when I can, and a while back Isang with the barbershop quartet, PopularDemand.”

He has also worked in over 20 musicaltheater productions, both in leading rolesand behind the scenes as producer/musicdirector.

Bobby Potter was born in Indiana. Hestarted taking snare drum lessons in the fifthgrade and got his first set of drums in the sev-enth. Later, when the Beatles hit stardom, he

made it a goal to be like Ringo. He played inthree bands through high school andhelped form a popular local band that per-formed in his home town and nearby teenclubs. Wanting to spread his wings hemoved to Los Angeles where he helped formThe Finders and Shake, Rattle N’ Roll andplayed in nightclubs there for 10 years. Hethen moved to Las Vegas and played theNevada casino circuit.

Capitalizing on his experience, hebacked such greats as Chris Montez, BillySwan, Jewel Akens, Al Wilson, J.J. Jackson,the Coasters, the Drifters, the Del Vikings,seven show and lounge acts and too manyElvis impersonators to mention. Stillwanting to achieve his personal “Ringo”goal, he joined two Beatle tributes, spend-ing eight years in this endeavor.

1964 is neither affiliated with nor en-dorsed by Apple Corps Ltd.

Tonight’s concert in Clayton is spon-sored by Key Bank.

Tickets can be purchased at the operahouse box office, 405 Riverside Drive(phone 686-2200) or online atwww.claytonoperahouse.org.

LAKE PLACID — The new Lake PlacidCourtyard Marriott’s “Miracle Room”(commemorating the 1980 WinterOlympics), will be filled with originalblues, grooves, songs and tunes from 3 to 5p.m. Saturday when Adirondack-basedsinger, songwriter and harp player MarthaGallagher appears in the final concert onher national “Wild Harp & WingedHeart” summer tour. She will be perform-ing original music from her latest CD re-lease, “Ebb & Flow,” and some favoritesfrom her Adirondack-inspired recordings.

“The harp is bold and beautiful,” shesaid. “The harp is so often stereotyped as asnooty, snoozy instrument. It’s an incrediblydiverse instrument that can go from sound-ing angelic, sweet and delicate one momentto being bold, gorgeous, even bluesy, thenext.”

Lake Placid Courtyard Marroitt Hotel isoff State Route 73, approximately a halfmile from the Olympic Ski Jump, and justwest of the Cascade Acres Campground.The street address is 5920 Cascade Road.

This performance, sponsored by Mili-tary Officers of the Adirondacks, is free andopen to the public. No RSVP is required,

When not on tour, Gallagher residesyear-round in the Adirondacks.

“From the moment I first moved here,20 years ago, I have been filled with musicand inspiration,” she said. "Much of mymusic is inspired by the beautiful naturewhere I live. I’m often writing songs, tryingout melodies and lyrics, as I am hiking,kayaking, skiing, etc. Some of my songsreflect the natural world, but even if thesong isn’t about nature, I find the forests,mountains, lakes and rivers a great placeto open myself to creativity.”

Gallagher, an internationally renownedmusician, has toured this summer,withperformances in Arizona, New Mexico,Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Mis-sissippi and Pennsylvania as well as NewYork state. Her music career of more than30 years includes solo national tours, sev-eral sponsored by the National Endow-

ment for the Arts, performing with six-time Grammy winners The Chieftains, be-ing a featured visiting artist at the presti-gious Berklee College of Music, research-ing and publishing articles on the cuttingedge MIDI harp, and appearances on BBCTV, WAMC Northeast Public Radio, NorthCountry Public Radio and Good MorningArizona. She has produced and recordedfive CDs of primarily original music on herindependent label, Singing Strings.

LAKE PLACID — The new Lake PlacidCourtyard Marriott’s “Miracle Room”(commemorating the 1980 WinterOlympics), will be filled with originalblues, grooves, songs and tunes from 3 to 5p.m. Saturday when Adirondack-basedsinger, songwriter and harp player MarthaGallagher appears in the final concert onher national “Wild Harp & WingedHeart” summer tour. She will be perform-ing original music from her latest CD re-lease, “Ebb & Flow,” and some favoritesfrom her Adirondack-inspired recordings.

“The harp is bold and beautiful,” shesaid. “The harp is so often stereotyped as asnooty, snoozy instrument. It’s an incrediblydiverse instrument that can go from sound-ing angelic, sweet and delicate one momentto being bold, gorgeous, even bluesy, thenext.”

Lake Placid Courtyard Marroitt Hotel isoff State Route 73, approximately a halfmile from the Olympic Ski Jump, and justwest of the Cascade Acres Campground.The street address is 5920 Cascade Road.

This performance, sponsored by Mili-tary Officers of the Adirondacks, is free andopen to the public. No RSVP is required,

although it is requested that guests arriveby 2:45 p.m.

When not on tour, Gallagher residesyear-round in the Adirondacks.

“From the moment I first moved here,20 years ago, I have been filled with musicand inspiration,” she said. "Much of mymusic is inspired by the beautiful naturewhere I live. I’m often writing songs, tryingout melodies and lyrics, as I am hiking,kayaking, skiing, etc. Some of my songsreflect the natural world, but even if thesong isn’t about nature, I find the forests,mountains, lakes and rivers a great placeto open myself to creativity.”

Gallagher, an internationally renownedmusician, has toured this summer,withperformances in Arizona, New Mexico,Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Mis-sissippi and Pennsylvania as well as NewYork state. Her music career of more than30 years includes solo national tours, sev-eral sponsored by the National Endow-

ment for the Arts, performing with six-time Grammy winners The Chieftains, be-ing a featured visiting artist at the presti-gious Berklee College of Music, research-ing and publishing articles on the cuttingedge MIDI harp, and appearances on BBCTV, WAMC Northeast Public Radio, NorthCountry Public Radio and Good MorningArizona. She has produced and recordedfive CDs of primarily original music on herindependent label, Singing Strings.

CLAYTON — The Thousand Islands Per-forming Arts Fund’s summer season at theClayton Opera House takes a “fab” step in-to nostalgia this evening with 1964…TheTribute, in concert at 7:30.

Tickets are $35 reserved and $30 generaladmission.

Since the early 1980s, this band, praisedby Rolling Stone magazine as the “BestBeatles Tribute on Earth,” has been per-forming around the globe.

Recreating an early-’60s live Beatlesconcert, with period instruments, cloth-ing, hairstyles, and onstage banter, 1964 islauded by many for its accuracy.

Band members are Mark Benson asJohn Lennon; Ricky Vacca as Paul McCart-ney; Tom Work as George Harrison andBobby Potter as Ringo Starr.

Mark Benson began his involvementwith music at age 8, playing drums and pi-ano. At 17 he started playing guitar. Interest-ed in becoming a luthier, Mark began his in-ternship at Lay’s Guitar Repair in Akron,Ohio where he learned to build, repair, andrestore guitars as well as other stringed in-struments. He went on to make guitars forEddie Van Halen and Jackson Browne andcontinues to rebuild, repair and restore allof the instruments for 1964. Mr. Bensonstarted the band in 1984. He currently pro-duces all aspects of the show and produced1964 CDs “All You Need Is Live,” “Nine HoursIn November” and “Bootleg Vol. 1.”

Ricky Vacca reports his interest in musicbegan when he was a young child, listen-ing to his parents’ collection of 1950s rockand roll, Beatles songs and Motown on 45rpm vinyl records. He bought his first gui-tar when he was 9 years old from a friendfor $5, and, being left handed, he had toplay the guitar upside down and eventual-ly taught himself to play and sing all thesongs headmired. He also learned how tomodify, repair and restore guitars and am-

plifiers and is currently the owner of hisown business doing just that.

Mr. Vacca’s “Beatles” career began at theage of 27 when, like fellow left-hander PaulMcCartney, he moved from guitar to bass,realizing that more bands needed bassplayers than guitar players. His look, hisvoice and his ability to play bass left hand-ed quickly landed him a spot in the “Beat-lemania” Broadway road tours and he’ssince been hired by many of the top Beatleshows to improve their casts.

Tom Work, a founding member of 1964,began playing guitar in 1961, but he hasother creative outlets, too. “Performing inthis act hasn’t left me much free time, but Ifreelance when I can, and a while back Isang with the barbershop quartet, PopularDemand.”

He has also worked in over 20 musicaltheater productions, both in leading rolesand behind the scenes as producer/musicdirector.

Bobby Potter was born in Indiana. Hestarted taking snare drum lessons in the fifthgrade and got his first set of drums in the sev-enth. Later, when the Beatles hit stardom, he

made it a goal to be like Ringo. He played inthree bands through high school andhelped form a popular local band that per-formed in his home town and nearby teenclubs. Wanting to spread his wings hemoved to Los Angeles where he helped formThe Finders and Shake, Rattle N’ Roll andplayed in nightclubs there for 10 years. Hethen moved to Las Vegas and played theNevada casino circuit.

Capitalizing on his experience, hebacked such greats as Chris Montez, BillySwan, Jewel Akens, Al Wilson, J.J. Jackson,the Coasters, the Drifters, the Del Vikings,seven show and lounge acts and too manyElvis impersonators to mention. Stillwanting to achieve his personal “Ringo”goal, he joined two Beatle tributes, spend-ing eight years in this endeavor.
