The Cameos to perform at JTHS
OAK RIDGE — The Cameos, a talented 8-piece vocal harmony group who create and perform their own unique renditions of the most popular songs of the 1950’s, ‘60's and 70's, Early Rock ‘n Roll, Doo-Wop, and Motown, will take the main stage at the Jefferson Township High School field at 7:15 pm on Saturday, July 14, for the Jefferson Fest II — Food Trucks, Concert and Fireworks event.
The school fields are located at 1010 Weldon Road, Milton/Oak Ridge, N.J.; and you are cordially invited to attend this free event by The Township of Jefferson and The Jefferson Arts Committee.
Come at 5 p.m., set up your chair or blanket on the field and enjoy the delicious and varied culinary offerings of food trucks as they open up to the public at 5:30 pm. Enjoy the pre-concert music and children’s activities by DJ Earl Heller as you enjoy your dinner, refreshments, or snacks.
Then at 7:15 p.m., let The Cameos take you on a 2-hour musical journey back in time to where it all started — back to the sounds of vocal group harmony of the 1950s and 1960s and the glory days of early Rock 'n'Roll. Memories will come flooding back as you listen to the sounds of the Duprees, Drifters, Flamingos, Dell-Vikings, Diamonds, The Crests, Elvis, The Four Seasons and many more. With a beat you won't be able to resist, you will soon find yourself dancing to the best rock and roll you ever heard. Their energy and showmanship will surely appeal to all age groups.
The Cameos have performed at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, NJPAC in Newark, Atlantic City, The Meadowlands, and Rich Naders’ Doo-Wop Extravaganza as well as dinner clubs, night clubs, weddings and special events throughout the tri-state area. They are talented and diverse vocalists and are backed by musicians who also have that special blend of talent and experience. No taped music is ever used in any of the Cameos’ performances — the music is always one hundred percent live.
Following the 50/50 raffle drawing, at approximately 9:30 p.m., raise your eyes to the sky for one of the most spectacular aerial fireworks displays you may ever see. Staged and choreographed once again by Interstate Fireworks, expect nothing less than a fantastic non-stop fireworks display that will light up the skies of Jefferson!
There’s free admission and free parking including handicapped parking throughout the event. Absolutely alcohol, smoking, drugs, fireworks, bicycles, pets or animals of any kind, large coolers, backpacks, drones. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors and be sure to bring your own lawn chair/blanket for your comfort.
