Peter Noone is a versatile entertainer that has being wowing audience almost his entire life. He became famous as “Herman”, the lead singer of Herman Hermits. Noone appeared in major feature films, television series, and Broadway. He was the host of VH1’s My Generation for four years.
                       
Peter Noone has been a multi-talented entertainer (singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, actor) virtually all his life.  As a child, he attended Manchester School of Music and Drama and played the role of Stanley Fairclough in the long-running British soap opera “Coronation Street” as well as appearing in several tv series such as “Knight Errant,” “Family Solicitor” and “Monro’s Saki Stories.”

From the age of fifteen, he gained international fame as “Herman,” lead singer of Herman’s Hermits.  His classic hits have sold more than sixty million records and include #1 singles “I’m into Something Good,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” and “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter.”  Other hit singles are “Listen People,” “Silhouettes,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “A Must to Avoid,” “There’s a Kind of Hush”and “No Milk Today.”  In all, 14 singles and 7 albums went gold, and the Hermits were twice named Cashbox’s “Entertainer of the Year.”  Very photogenic, Peter graced the cover of nearly every international publication, including Time Magazine; performed on hundreds of top-rated television shows such as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye; starred in ABC’s musical “The Canterville Ghost” (Hallmark Hall of Fame’s presentation of the classic Pinocchio); and in three feature films for MGM.

In the 1970s, Noone composed songs and produced records for David Bowie and Debby Boone; played the leading roles in full-scale theatrical productions of “Aladdin,” “Sinbad the Sailor” and, in the 1980s, starred on Broadway as the dashing hero Frederic in the New York Shakespeare Festival’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance” and then reprised the role at the world-famous Drury Lane Theatre in London.  For four years, Peter was the host of VH1’s “My Generation” and the PBS Special “The British Invasion Returns.”  He was a guest star on many prime time tv shows such as “Married with Children,” “Quantum Leap,” “Too Close for Comfort” and most recently starred in the recurring role of Paddington on the forever popular CBS soap opera “As the World Turns.”  In 2007, he sang “There’s a Kind of Hush” on American Idol and mentored the male contestants.

Peter continues to sell out venues world-wide.  His dedicated legion of faithful fans (“Noonatics”) are as enthusiastic as the young girls were in the 1960s when the British Invasion began.  His compelling charisma, charm, high energy and disarming wit combine to make every Peter Noone concert a “must-see” event.

Felix Cavaliere, founder of the legendary Rascals, has rocked millions of fans throughout his career.  The term “blue-eyed soul” was coined to refer to Felix’s vocal style.  Felix possesses one of the most soulful and dynamic voices in rock and roll.  The band had four #1 hits, six top 20 singles, and six top 20 albums.  Hit singles include “Good Lovin,” “Girl Like You,” “Groovin,” “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long,” “A Beautiful Morning,” “How Can I Be Sure,” and “People Got to Be Free.”  Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals continue to tour internationally, and he often plays with Ringo Starr’s All Star Band, thrilling audiences the world over.

           The Happenings round out the show.  In the Summer of 1966, they had the #1 song in the world – “See You in September,” as well as hit songs including “Go Away Little Girl,” “Bye, Bye, So Long, Farewell,” and “I Got Rhythm.”  They had nine singles on the Billboard charts, four of which went gold.  The Happenings are excellent on stage, and Bob Miranda’s voice remains one of the treasures of any era, guaranteed to thrill audiences.
