Folk legends Peter, Paul and Mary return to AMT this spring. Considered the most popular folk group of the 1960’s,
this infamous trio has proved to be among the most durable music acts in history. Maybe not so surprising, since
Peter, Paul and Mary’s roots run deeper than almost any other folk group in history. During their first ten years,
they recorded about one album a year and many of the songs are classics – “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “If I Had A Hammer,”
“Puff, The Magic Dragon,” “Lemon Tree,” “Where Have All The Flowers Gone,” “Stewball,” “500 Miles,” “Leaving On
A Jet Plane,” and “This Land Is Your Land.” During the 1960’s the times were-a changin’ . . . but over the last

Joe Cocker is a survivor, a star and a rock legend. He has charted hit records in the 1960's, ‘70s, ‘80, and ‘90s.
Success has brought with it a grueling schedule of recording and touring, but after more than twenty-five years
on the road he has no plans to take it easy. "As long as being on stage is fun," says Joe, "as long
as I enjoy that part and still get a buzz out of performing. Then I'll keep going out there." “Up Where We
Belong,” “With a Little Help From My Friends,” “You Are So Beautiful,” and “ “Unchain My Heart,” are just some
of the blockbuster hits in Joe Cocker’s legendary repertoire.

He is also one of the stars of the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana. Join us for an evening of country music fun
as Billy Ray and his smokin’ hot band make a rare Central PA appearance.
