The Lovin’ Spoonful were America’s answer to the Beatles! The band, led by John Sebastian, Steve Boone, Joe Butler and Zal Yanovsky, exploded onto the charts sending their first 7 singles soaring onto Billboard’s tip-10 charts virtually overnight. The Spoonful formed in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1965 at the Night Owl Café and signed to Kama Sutra Records. They appeared on every major TV show of the era: The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo and Shindig!

Their first single, “Do You Believe in Magic,” flew to the top of the charts and was followed by an unprecedented string of hits including: “Daydream,” “Younger Girl,” “Summer in the City,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “Darling Be Home Soon,” “Jug band Music,” “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind,” “Lovin’ You,” “Didn’t Want to Have to Do it,” “Rain on the Roof,” “Six O’clock,” “Nashville Cats,” “Coconut Grove,” and “She’s Still a Mystery (to Me).”

Today the Lovin’ Spoonful tours with founding member,  Steve Boone, and Jeff Alan Ross, Bill Cinque, Rob Bonfiglio and Mike Auturi. Together they faithfully celebrate the rich, good-time catalog of hits that made them one of the world’s most beloved groups of the ‘60s. The Lovin’ Spoonful was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

The Grass Roots are an American rock band that gained widespread popularity in the late 1960s and 1970s with their signature blend of rock, pop, and folk influences. Formed in 1965, the band achieved success with hit singles like “Let’s Live for Today,” “Midnight Confessions,” and “Temptation Eyes,” which became defining tracks of the era. Known for their catchy melodies and lush harmonies, The Grass Roots were a staple of the AM radio charts and became one of the most consistent hit-makers of their time. Their enduring music remains a favorite among lovers of 60s and 70s rock.
