"Joined by 12 or more performers including a horn section, strings, keyboardists, percussionists, background vocalists and an incredible rock rhythm section, the Summer of Love Experience recreates “note for note and absolutely live” the songs, and the psychedelically flavored spirit, of the Woodstock Generation. "I've always had a playlist on my I Pod named The Summer of Love. I'm actually a hippie at heart.The music of that era is probably what moves me the most," said Burtnik in a recent interview.

The Concert includes music by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Santana, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jefferson Airplane, The Association, The Turtles, The Beach Boys, Scott McKenzie, Mamas and the Papas, Country Joe, Ravi Shankar, Procol Harum, Joe Cocker, Melanie, The Spencer Davis Group, Cream, The Youngbloods, and many more nuggets and surprises from artists like The Rascals, Chicago, The Zombies, Tommy James and The Shondells, Mountain, Otis Redding, Sonny and Cher, Sly and The Family Stone, Canned Heat, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, Barry McGuire and more! The songs run the gammet from the psychedelic songs to rockin' album tracks to a sprinkling of now hip Top 40 pop from that era.

“Relive the Memories, Share the Spirit (with family and friends) and Celebrate the Songs of the Woodstock Generation, The Music That Changed the World” with The Summer of Love Concert featuring Glen Burtnik and the Summer of Love Experience.

We hope to see you soon.
