Legendary rock band Vanilla Fudge are celebrating their 50^th anniversary in 2017 and they are making a stop at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, Mass., on April 5th with special guest Paul Bielatowicz. It will be the first time the band has appeared at this intimate venue. Purchase tickets HERE.

Since the summer of 1967, Vanilla Fudge were architects of a new musical style that included psychedelic, rock, soul music and gospel. They were, and are masters of reinterpreting other artist’s hit songs, and their effect on the soon to explode late 60’s “heavy metal” scene was undeniable.

To be an influence on the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Van Halen certainly secures a place in rock n roll history for the legendary Vanilla Fudge.

Now celebrating their 50^th anniversary, the powerhouse vocals and keyboard flourishes of virtuoso organist Mark Stein, along with the fluid guitar explosions of Vinnie Martell, all anchored by arguably one of the best rhythm sections in the history of rock music, with the legendary Carmine Appice on drums and Pete Bremy on bass (filling in for the retired Tim Bogert), they create a sound so unique that it cannot be imitated. Your spirit will jettison right back to a “happening” in that magical summer of 1967, and this “happening” needs to be felt live to truly be appreciated!

Paul Bielatowicz, who is best known for his virtuoso guitar work with some of the biggest names in progressive rock including Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Asia) and Neal Morse (Spock’s Beard), will open the show!

Legendary rock band The Yardbirds, who were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, will be making their debut performance at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA, on Saturday, October 15^th. Purchase tickets HERE.

The Yardbirds are more than a rock band…they are an institution…which, in the brief period from 1963 to 1968, made an indelible mark on the shapes of things to come. To the casual music fan, The Yardbirds are best known as the band that honed the skills of future “Guitar Gods” Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page; and for their slew of chart hits, including “For Your Love,” “Heart Full of Soul,” “I’m a Man,” and “Over Under Sideways Down.”

Led by core members and songwriters Jim McCarty (drums), The Yardbirds debuted a new touring line-up in 2015, consisting of guitarist Johnny A, bassist Kenny Aaronson, singer/harpist/percussionist Myke Scavone, and guitarist/singer John Idan to rave reviews. As Goldmine Magazine stated, “The band’s hallmark of top-notch musicianship remains. There are no passengers in this band.”

The Yardbirds – electrifying, eclectic, and way ahead of their time – melded heavy rock, wild jams, and an improvisatory feel, and continue to influence generations of bands. Watching The Yarbirds in action is experiencing rock and roll history.
