SPECIAL GUESTS LITTLE ANTHONY AND THE IMPERIALS
WATSONVILLE—Some things should never change. This Fourth of July, LITTLE ANTHONY and the IMPERIALS, rousing patriotic music and dazzling aerial fireworks will all stay the same as Graniterock will again entertain an Independence Day audience at the A.R. Wilson Quarry in Aromas on Sunday, July 4, 2004. In its thirteenth iteration, the POPS & ROCKS Independence Day Festival has raised more than $110,000 for community non-profit organizations. Graniterock announced today that this year’s special guest entertainment will be the amazing LITTLE ANTHONY and the IMPERIALS, familiar to millions of fans with 17 Pop and 12 R&B chart hits. Some of LITTLE ANTHONY and the IMPERIALS’ classic hits include:“Tears on My Pillow,” “Shimmy,” “Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop,” “Hurt so Bad” and of course “Goin’ Out of My Head”.
The always-popular Joe Sharino Band, winner of twelve “Best Band Awards” in the Bay Area will also perform. Joe will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the fun-filled evening. The combined talents of the 70-member Monterey County and Santa Cruz County Symphony Orchestras will provide musical accompaniment for LITTLE ANTHONY and the IMPERIALS. The Orchestras will also play an innovative, electronically choreographed score to a spectacular aerial fireworks display after sundown. The Joe Sharino Band will provide rock ’n’ roll dance music after the fireworks until 10:30 pm.
