FEATURING:
The Persuasions. Discovered by Frank Zappa in 1968, they may not have invented A Capella but The Persuasions are the reason boy bands like Boyz 2 Men existed. They have recorded and performed songs from Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa, from Sam Cooke to Bob Dylan, and from Lennon and McCartney to Rogers and Hammerstein.

Also featured will be The Treasury, a relatively new local Asheville band (formerly Yesterday’s Tomorrow and The Sedatives). The four piece band is creating a new wave modern psychedelic sound and will be playing your Beatles favorites! LSS Youth Performers include artist mentor Imhotep with the W.C. Reid Center drummers and Rightful Intentions.
