Rock The Beach - A Tribute to The Cars

7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Rock the Beach Tribute Series
Wave Terrace

TOUCH & GO: Composed of a group of top notch musicians, Touch & Go is a Tribute to the Music of The Cars. The look, sound and feel of the iconic New Wave band, The Cars, lives on in Touch & Go's ever-so precise replication in all of The Cars hits. Packing a full 90 minute set of music spanning the entire Cars catalogue, you will be transported back in time to the late 70's and 80's when this band launched their career. With the memorable guitar hooks, the synthesizer-laden hits, and the perfectly matched voice of Ric Ocasek by Touch & Go's lead vocalist Gene Minix, you will have a concert experience that you won't soon forget!

With their sleek, mechanical sound inspired by an interesting cross of punk rock and bubblegum pop and a little garage rock in there, Boston-based quintet the Cars racked up a string of platinum albums and Top 40 singles, becoming the most successful American new wave band of the late '70s and early '80s. The group's eponymous debut album appeared in the summer of 1978 and it slowly built a following thanks to the hit singles "Just What I Needed" (number 27), "My Best Friend's Girl" (number 35), and "Good Times Roll" (number 41). The Cars stayed on the charts for over two-and-a-half years, delaying the release of the group's second album, and it eventually sold over six million copies. The Cars broke up in 1988, but their music's popularity and influence never faded.
