First time since 2009!
The Buzztones are coming back to Lafayette, CA, as the featured band for the final night of the Lafayette Rock the Plaza Summer Series at Lafayette Plaza Park on Friday, June 28, at 6:30pm. The event, organized by the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, is FREE.
If you’re in town this Friday, don’t miss this fun opportunity to listen – and dance! – to the Buzztones!
Here is what Cathy Tyson of the Lamorinda Weekly wrote in 2009 about the Buzztones’ local connection:
“Not only is the band reuniting, but long ago school rivals – Van Overveen/Martin from Acalanes and fellow bandmate Alan Thiele from Miramonte — can relive some of their musical history back in the neighborhood where it all began. Rounding out the quartet, Ken Cooper and Dan DeShara are also from the area. Martin got his start playing at the Happy Valley sixth grade graduation and at a Kiwanis Pancake Feed. He went on to become involved in Jazz Band at Stanley and sang in the choir at Acalanes.”
