Welcome to the 24th annual Lost in the '50s
OK, all you rock 'n' roll boomers - It's time to slick back the hair, polish those baby moons on that rod, and cruise to Sandpoint, Idaho, for Lost in the '50s Weekend! Winter has been too long and we're ready to spring into our time machine to remind us that the magic is still in the air.
Cruisin' season is officially open ... put the top down, crank up the tunes on the radio, and join us for another year of Classic Cars, Rock 'n' Roll, and fun for everyone. Because remember: "It's Your Party." Be here or be square!
The Crystals
|
Who better to start the party than The Crystals. With hits like "Uptown," "There's No Other," "Like My Baby," "He's a Rebel," "Da Do Ron Ron," plus "And Then He Kissed Me," they're one of the best girls' groups of their time! And these girls still have what it takes to rock the house better than anyone today!
A little known fact about The Crystals is that they recorded the original versions of songs like "It's My Party" and "Chapel of Love" that were never released, and then given to other soon-to-be-known female artists.

Rocky and the Rollers
|
It will be a great night of music, especially when you have the best house band on the planet. After 15 years of traveling to Sandpoint from Florida, Rocky and the Rollers are like a part of our family. We couldn't have a great time without them. Our thanks to Gerry (Rocky) Seader, Dave Parker, Al Layton, Jimmy Miller and Bruce Nardi for all those years. They are truly one of the cornerstones of Lost in the '50s!

Johnny Thunder
|
If you haven't seen Johnny Thunder's show, get ready to enjoy one of the best sets of the night. He's a wonderful entertainter. As a young man, he left his native state of Florida to search out his dreams of becoming a singer in New York. Johnny was lucky to have been befriended by another young singer by the name of Jackie Wilson. Johnny experienced many opportunities, like touring with the Ink Spots and becoming a member of the Drifters when Ben E. King left the group for a solo career. This allowed Johnny to meet various producers and songwriters who were interested in signing him for solo ventures. Thus the song "Loop De Loop," selling over one million copies. This sent Mr. Thunder on the road towards a long and enduring career. The House will be rockin' at the fairgrounds!
