Lil' Pearl and the Big Boys
by Libby S., Grade 8, Tarpon Springs Middle School
Music on the Beach Youth Representative
It was very fitting that Lil' Pearl and the Big Boys opened with Peggy Lee's hit "Fever" since we had a beautiful bonfire on the beach to celebrate the end of the 2008 concert series. The lyrics said it best: "what a lovely way to burn!" Stephanie Anderson and her band are a crowd favorite for Music on the Beach, and as always, they kept the large crowd rocking for the whole night. They played an abundance of classic R&B and rock hits (Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, Jefferson Airplane) plus a few fun, original songs from their upcoming CD. Based on how many people were up dancing and singing along, I think it's safe to say that this concert was a great end to an amazing 2008 season!
Be sure to mark your calendars for the first concert of the 2009 series --
February 12, 2009! See you next year! www.tarponspringsmusic.com
