It's a weekend for everyone of all ages!
Hot Rods, Rock 'n' Roll Music, Dancin' in the Streets, D.J.s to 5Ks and Greasers to Onlookers ... Polish that chrome, curl the pompadour and crank up the "Oldies" ...
| "It's Time to Rock On!" |
 |
| Twenty-three years of doing Rock 'n' Roll, and we have not lost one ounce of the dedication or the love of music and cars. So once again, it's that time of year to cruise to Sandpoint, where cars and original guest artists and their music collide into Lost in the '50s Weekend. |
Gary Puckett
|
Gary Puckett grew up in Yakima, Washington, and Twin Falls, Idaho, where he started playing in bands while in high school. He had a couple of groups that never quite got off the ground, deciding that they needed a gimmick of sorts that would make them stand out, they went with a military motif. They chose the blue-and-gold Civil War uniform and took the name from a historic town in Washington called Union Gap! From then on, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had some very impressive hits. The first one was "Woman, Woman," reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 followed by No. 2 "Young Girl," No. 2 "Lady Willpower," No. 7 "Over You," No. 15 "Don't Give in to Him," and No. 9 "This Girl Is a Woman Now." |

Little Peggy March
|
Although Peggy began performing professionally at the age of 5, she was discovered at the age of 13, only 4 feet, 10 inches at the time, and her birthday was in March -- hence the name Little Peggy March! In 1963, Peggy was 14 and the youngest female artist with a No. 1 smash hit record, "I Will Follow Him." This song has not only been tested by time, but she has sang it in at least six different languages and had a No. 1 hit worldwide with it! This year will be Peggy's return to Sandpoint after a very long time, and you can be sure that she will rock the house.
