The Buckinghams in Concert

Aug. 13, 2009 Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal (full story found at link below) Old Time Rock 'N Roll Cannery carves out a niche by booking acts baby boomers love By JOHN PRZYBYS LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Kathie Spehar, director of entertainment for Cannery Casino Resorts, sometimes finds herself dealing with an unusual, and decidedly generational, workplace issue. Spehar books musical acts for the Cannery, the Eastside Cannery and the Rampart. And, sometimes, her younger staff doesn't quite get it when she books an act from the '50s or '60s. "The younger generation that works here with me is always yelling at me because I don't book the hard rock they like," Spehar explains with a laugh.

Nostalgia tops evening entertainment at Taste August 4, 2009 By KENNETH L R. PATCHEN Correspondent American English and The Buckinghams are the featured night-time entertainers at this year's late-August Taste of Highland Park during the Port Clinton Art Festival. The 16 participating restaurants include four newcomers this summer: Abigail's, Fuddruckers, Norton's, and Sushi Kushi Too. In addition, the Taste of Highland dining area has been expanded to better accommodate everyone. In many ways, this Taste is the same time, same place, and same set-up of specialty food-serving stations as last year's event. Families can eat during the art fair and entertainment will be on the stage at Central Avenue and Second Street. The Taste opens at 6 p.m. Friday night Aug. 28 with food and entertainment by the Beatles tribute band American English until 10 p.m. Food and entertainment is offered all day Saturday during the Art Festival from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Aug. 29, with The Buck

The web link below holds the key to some great memories of last night's concert in Oshkosh at the Leach Ampitheatre.

The Britins opened the evening in full Beatles costume attire and hair-cut, followed by Herman's Hermits starring Barry Whitwam, and evening headliners, The Buckinghams, Chicago natives with the name that sounded British. The Union Jack up on stage was reminiscent of when the producers of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour thought The Bucks were British and had that as decoration when the band performed on their show. At least in Oshkosh, everyone was British for the evening.
