Amador County – A big part of the annual Amador County Fair is the high quality musical acts it attracts. This year the fair will host a number of bands paying tribute to some of the biggest names in rock n’ roll. On Thursday, July 30th, Travelin’ Band will take the stage on picnic hill at 9 pm to pay tribute to rock royalty: Creedence Clearwater Revival. You’ll hear tunes that will take you rollin’ on the river to the heart of the Louisiana Bayou. No other group in pop music history achieved the crossover success that "CCR" did. On Friday, July 31st, 60’s Experience takes the Picnic Hill stage at 8 pm to revisit the summer of love and all the great music from the Woodstock Generation. On Saturday, August 1st, Journey Unauthorized will take the main stage for a tribute to one of the biggest bands of the 1970’s and 80’s. Journey’s music still remains very popular today. Journey Unauthorized performs the full range of Journey onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that Journey themselves recorded in the studios and performed for live audiences. Finally, on Sunday, August 2nd, Briefcase Full of Blues takes Picnic Hill to pay tribute to the seminal blues act of the 1980’s: The Blues Brothers. The legacy left by John Belushi and those great Blues Brothers films will continue in this uncanny reenactment. Visit the Amador County Fair July 30th through August 2nd.
