The FAB4 Music Festival on Saturday July 10th, 2021 at Nolan Field in Asonia, CT was a wonderful all-day event featuring 10 bands playing and celebrating the music of The Beatles and the music of the 1960’s. Put together by Producer/Impresssario Charles F. Rosenay!!!, nine great Beatles tribute bands performed the group and solo music of the Fab Four.
Hosted by Rosenay and Radio/Podcast Personality Ken Michaels, the family friendly event saw a huge crowd grooving and enjoying the music at the open air Nolan Field. It was a perfect day to enjoy live music.
The one Beatles band exception was Zilch who performed a special set playing the music of The Monkees. Their set was greatly received by the audience.
I was in attendance at the Festival along with author Michael A. Ventrella promoting our Monkees and Beatles books. We also wished a Happy 500th Show to video podcaster Plastic EP.
The special guest at the Festival was Apple Records Artist Brute Force, whose lone Apple release ‘The King of Fuh’ had received a very limited release and was a personal favorite of John Lennon and George Harrison, the lyrics which appealed to their sense of humor.
In a bit of audience participation, Charles F. Rosenay!!! led the crowd in wishing a Happy Birthday to video podcaster Plastic EP who is also celebrating his 500th show.
It was a wonderful, fun event. A splendid time was definitely had by all!
