Presque Isle Downs & Casino Announces Hot Summer Concert Series

Erie, PA, May 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Presque Isle Downs & Casino will stage an outdoor summer concert series featuring, among others, Grammy-nominees The Fabulous Thunderbirds and American icon and former Billboard Number #1 artist Chubby Checker and the Wildcats.

Also headlining this year’s series is former teen idol, guitarist, singer and actor David Cassidy of the famed Partridge Family and Nashville recording artist Chris Higbee and perennial rockers, The Clarks. The popular Eagles tribute band Hotel California is also scheduled to showcase “A Salute to the Eagles.”

“We’re offering fantastic music at an amazing price,” said Mike Tamburelli, Vice President and General Manager of Presque Isle Downs & Casino. “This summer’s concert series will be one to remember. And in a twist of fate, this happens to be the 50th Anniversary of Chubby Checker’s hit song, ‘The Twist’.”

"The Twist" is the song that gave birth to the Twist dance craze of the 60’s. The single became a hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 19, 1960 and then set a record by being the only single to reach #1 in two different chart runs when it resurged and dominated the chart again on January 13, 1962.

The outdoor concerts will be available to people of all ages.

Most ticket prices will start at $5 or $10 dollars depending upon the act.

The Summer Concert Series schedule is as follows:
· The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Friday, June 7th at 7pm. Tickets start at $10.
· Chris Higbee and The Clarks; Friday, July 5th at 7pm. Tickets start at $5.
