The Top Allman Brothers Tribute Band Has Received National Acclaim For Their Appearance On AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” & Has Been Named As A Featured Performer On The 2022 “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise”
LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Tribute To The Original Allman Brothers Band will be bringing the early music of the iconic Allman Brothers Band to the stage at Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) this Saturday, July 31 at 8 PM.
Kicking off Uptown!’s tribute band series, LATF’s show will offer fans an exact reproduction of the live concert performances of the original Allman Brothers Band featuring Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and Berry Oakley. Musically and sonically, LATF recreates the experience of hearing one of the greatest live bands of all time as they sounded in 1969-1971. Particularly featured are the songs from the ABB’s monumental shows at Bill Graham's Fillmore East Auditorium in New York City in March and June of 1971 – when the members of LATF first heard the legendary band live.
"On June 26, 1971, I was at Fillmore East for the Saturday night late show, the last public concert at Fillmore East, the one the ABB band calls 'THE SHOW,' the one they feel is the greatest performance they ever gave. I've never heard them or any other band give a better performance before or since," said LATF Founder and Guitarist/Vocalist Lou Maresca.
LATF is the continuation of the band’s devotion to performing the music of the original Allman Brothers Band as it was performed in those early years before the untimely deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley and the departure of Dickey Betts. According to Maresca, “for me, those years were the ‘glory days’ of the Allman Brothers Band.”
LATF is the top ABB tribute band and has received countless accolades and rave reviews for their authenticity and musicianship. In fact, they’ve been named as a featured performer on next year’s “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise” and received national acclaim for their Spring 2017 performance on national TV as part of AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.”
The LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Tribute To The Original Allman Brothers Band show kicks off Uptown’s tribute band series, which will also feature such esteemed bands as Echoes: The American Pink Floyd, Eaglemania, Back In Black: ACDC Tribute, Studio Two: Early Beatles Tribute and many more.

The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) will be celebrating the life and legacy of “The Man In Black” as it welcomes renowned Johnny Cash tribute band CASH UNCHAINED on Friday, October 29 at 8 PM.

Dedicated not only to the authenticity of the music, sound and execution of the performance, CASH UNCHAINED is also committed to bringing the Johnny Cash experience to the stage thanks to accurate portrayals, costumes, and, most importantly, attitude and voice that only Tamelcoff and his band could provide.
In fact, fans and critics agree that Tamelcoff’s voice and passion for emulating Johnny Cash’s gritty, low baritone sound, are perfect for such recreating such songs as “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire,” and “Walk the Line,” plus songs from the end of Cash’s career, including his final hit “Hurt” written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails).

Renowned Lead Singer Steve Kelly, Who Has Shared The Stage With Such Stars As Pat Benatar, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett, Rick Derringer & More, Brings Neil Diamond’s Original Set List To Life
The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) has announced that it will be celebrating a month of first-class, music entertainment, starting with critically-acclaimed Neil Diamond tribute band Cherry Cherry on Friday, November 5 at 8 PM.
Featuring veteran lead singer Steve Kelly, who has been performing since the age of 13 and has over 30 years’ experience sharing the stage with such greats as Pat Benatar, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett, 38 Special, Rick Derringer, Foghat, and more, Cherry Cherry has been hailed as the premier Neil Diamond tribute act thanks to their authenticity and dedication to the sound of one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Unlike other tribute acts, Cherry Cherry does not attempt to impersonate Neil Diamond. Instead, they choose to honor his songs and stage performances by personalizing each and every show for the audience. Playing such iconic hits as “Sweet Caroline,” which was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant,” as well as others from his 10 #1 singles including “America,” “Yesterday’s Songs,” and “Heartlight,” the group has perfected the art of recreation in its highest regard.

Featuring Renowned Singers Sara Michaels & Sharon Sables, Two Generations Of Jazz Will Perform Re-Imagined Songs Ranging From Rock And Pop To Classic Jazz and Even A Few Originals
Two Jazz vocalists, two generations of music, and two very different sounds are coming together for ONE night of unforgettable music at the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) on Thursday, November 18 at 7 PM. Sound too good to be true? Not when it’s a special evening with esteemed singers Sara Michaels & Sharon Sables performing “More Than Just Your Jazz Standards.”
For one night only, these two sirens will join forces to collaborate on songs by Gladys Knight, The Beatles, James Taylor, Cindy Lauper, Carole King, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder, as well as jazz classics by Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Edith Piaf, Louis Armstrong, and more. However, before their dual performance, each will be treating the audience to an exclusive solo performance featuring original music from her respected latest collection of music, including Michael’s critically-acclaimed hit “Hard Winter” (2021) and Sables’ beloved album Love Evermore.
Sables, who found herself immersed in the teen pop world as a young recording artist for LaFace/Arista records in Atlanta at the age of 17, has recorded with, and for, many of the era’s pop/R&B heavyweights such as Pink, Babyface, Mandy Moore and Boyz II Men. Now, she incorporates her pop influences into her jazz performances and is recognized as one of the region’s most respected interpreters of song with sold-out appearances throughout the East Coast.
Influenced by Sable to go beyond her jazz standard repertoire, which can be heard at Uptown’s “The Jazz Cocktail Hour” where she is the host, Michaels says,
“We are two different generations, with two very different styles and sounds to our voices. Sables’ voice is pitch perfect; sweet and clear with delicate dynamics and quite intoxicating. Whereas my voice has a soulful, gutsy style with a rich, lower range that is quite a contrast from Sables. Both can tell a story in song so differently, and when we sing together it's oh so fun!”
Performing alongside Sable and Michaels will be The Terry Klinefelter Quintet, featuring WCU’s Dr. Terry Klinefelter on piano, Jazz Guitarist, Arranger, and Producer E. Shawn Qaissaunee (Stevie Wonder, Broadway’s Greg Riley) and Philadelphia’s most sought-after drummer Harry “Butch” Reed.
“More Than Just Your Jazz Standards” is just one of many exciting upcoming performances and events at the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center in November. Others include Max Weinberg’s Jukebox (Nov. 20); the Linda Ronstadt Experience (Nov. 21), and more.

The Former Drummer For Ringo Starr & Bruce Springsteen's E. Street Band Invites The Audience To Pick The Set List – In Real Time – And Sing Along With His Band Jukebox
Legendary drummer Max Weinberg, who is best known for providing the backbeat to such iconic bands as Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and Bruce Springsteen's E. Street Band, as well as serving as the band leader for all three of Conan O'Brien’s late-night shows, is bringing his famed, rollicking Jukebox ensemble to the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) on Saturday, November 20 at 8 PM.
Hailed as a “party” rather than a “performance” by the countless fans and critics who have laid witness to the heralded hootenanny, Weinberg and his four-piece band literally immerse the audience in the show by inviting them to choose the set list – in real time – from a lexicon of over 300 classic songs that are broadcast on a video screen inside the venue. Songs range from the Rolling Stones and The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen, Steppenwolf, and many more and fan participation is, of course, highly-encouraged.
“In all of my years in the music business, I have never seen a show quite like Max’s Jukebox,” said April Evans, executive director of Uptown!. “His performances take audiences to a new level of enjoyment; he’s absolutely magnetizing.”
Weinberg has been in the music industry for close to six decades and has stayed at the top of the nation’s radar for much of this time. Weinberg performed in bands such as Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and Fire Inc., but is mostly remembered as the longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as well as the bandleader for Conan O'Brien on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.
He formed Jukebox in 2015 with one goal in mind. To create a truly interactive experience, where he could invite the audience to create the set list, in real time, and he and his four-piece group would play songs from the glory days of rock n’ roll.
Max Weinberg’s Jukebox is just one of many exciting upcoming performances and events at the Uptown! Performing Arts Center in November. Others include More Than Just Your Jazz Standards (Nov. 18), the Linda Ronstadt Experience (Nov. 21), The Rocketeer (Nov. 22), Bacon Gives Back(Nov. 27) and more.

American Idol Finalist Tristan McIntosh Will Be Taking The Stage For A Fully-Immersive Performance Of Beloved, 11-Time Grammy Award Winning Singer-Songwriter Linda Ronstadt’s Greatest Hits
With 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, two Academy Of County Awards, an Emmy and an ALMA Award, few artists will ever come close to the iconic status that singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt has earned. Which is why, on Sunday,November 21 at 3 PM, the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St., West Chester, PA) will be honoring the now retired icon with a special performance by The Linda Ronstadt Experience.
Featuring acclaimed Lead Vocalist Tristan McIntosh, a finalist in American Idol 2016, The Linda Ronstadt Experience recreates Ronstadt’s greatest hits over numerous genres – folk, rock, country, jazz standards, opera and even Latin. Ronstadt and her band’s ability to cover several genres of song with the same profound, heartbreakingly beautiful melody is what made her stand out as a performer, and The Linda Ronstadt Experience’s ability to emulate this talent makes them a one-of-a-kind tribute to a legendary artist.
McIntosh brings formidable vocals and a passion for singing to every performance, reinvigorating each song for the 21stcentury. After completing her run as a finalist in American Idol 2016, McIntosh found her home with the Linda Ronstadt Experience and became the final piece of the puzzle for its members. With a fiercely diverse portfolio and the talent for enthralling audiences, McIntosh tells a story with Ronstadt’s lyrics and bridges a gap between generations bringing the full-bodied vocals of the original performance to a modern era.
Among the members of The Ronstadt Experience band are Founder and Veteran Bassist Junior Cain, Drummer Doug Plavin, Producer, Songwriter and Sideman Adam Michael Rothberg on keyboards, guitars, and harmony vocals, and with Rothberg on guitar and harmony vocals is Bronson Bush.
In addition to Ronstadt’s own songs, the band’s set list includes songs that she wrote for, or co-wrote with, other artists such as Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, The Eagles, Tom Petty, Jackson Brown and more.
“The Linda Ronstadt Experience will blow you away,”said April Evans, executive director of Uptown!. “They have all of the on-stage charisma and passion of Linda herself; I can’t wait for audiences to see what they bring to the stage.”
The Linda Ronstadt’s show is just one of many exciting upcoming performances and events at the Uptown! Performing Arts Center in November. Others include The Rocketeer (Nov. 22), Bacon Gives Back (Nov. 27); and finishing off November’s events is the Bottle Shock + Pre-Wine Teaser (Nov. 29).

The Seminar Will Discuss George Washington’s Intuitive Leadership Skills
According to a recent article in Entrepreneur, the single most important factor influencing a person's success – whether personal or professional – is mindset. And for those hoping to develop a winning leadership plan, a positive outlook is essential to meeting (and exceeding) all predetermined goals.
No one exhibited an acumen for intuitive leadership skills better than George Washington. That’s why The Washington Memorial Heritage and David Cross and Indispensable Leadership (LLC) will be hosting a discussion on this topic as part of their popular Leadership Series at the Washington Memorial Chapel (Rt. 23 Valley Forge Park, Valley Forge, PA) on Thursday, April 21 at 6 PM.
During “Controlling Your Mindset And Dealing With Failure,” Indispensable Leadership’s Historical Expeditionary David Cross will explore how one can change his or her life by learning from George Washington and how he went from being one of the worst leaders ever, during the Seven Years’ War, into our greatest.
The Washington Memorial Heritage Leadership Forum Series is a History/Leadership and Author Events Program that kicked off earlier this year at the Washington Memorial Chapel. Drawing upon America’s Revolutionary history, the program examines the challenges and decisions faced by the country’s Founders. Analyzing their experiences, the program provides lessons which help attendees in their business and personal life.
The price will be $20 per person per session; students with proof of student status will be admitted free.

The Washington Memorial Heritage’s October “Lead Like George” Discussion Examines The Pinnacle Of Washington’s Leadership: His Presidency
The Washington Memorial Heritage and David Cross and Indispensable Leadership (LLC) have unveiled one of their most pivotal discussions to-date. The “George Washington’s Presidency: A Look Inside His Most Challenging & Inspiring Period Of Leadership,” which is part of the “Lead Like George” leadership series, will be held at the Washington Memorial Chapel (Rt. 23 Valley Forge Park, Valley Forge, PA) Thursday, October 13 at 6 PM.
During the event, David Cross will examine what was, in many ways, Washington’s most challenging period of leadership – his presidency. After leading the Revolution by example and the period after the Revolution by stealth, Washington found that he must lead the way as he tries to determine just what a president does and how he acts. At the same time, he was faced with the daunting circumstances of a revolution in France, British challenges abroad, riots at home, and a Cabinet divided on the essential meaning of the new country. Cross will discuss how Washington used every talent he has to give his country its head start and a fighting chance to survive the unknowable future.
