The Lovettes: A Salute to the Female Icons of the 40s, 50s, and 60s
Picnic Grounds
Sunday, September 1, 3-5pm
Chicago-based trio The Lovettes celebrate the trailblazing women of pop in a show-stopping performance seen on PBS’s Doo-Wop Generations. The Lovettes bring their unique twist to hits from The Andrews Sisters, Connie Francis, Peggy Lee, The Ronettes, Leslie Gore, Petula Clark, The Supremes, Dusty Springfield, and more. This internationally-acclaimed act performs across the US, Canada, and Europe, earning endorsements from pop queens Beverly Lee (The Shirelles) and Judy Craig (The Chiffons). Join The Lovettes for a rocking tribute to the women of the golden era of music – the original leaders of the pack! Presented by Artists Lounge Live.
This concert is outdoors and features lawn seating. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets, and picnics are welcome. A designated area will be reserved for guests with pop-up tents and canopies.
