“The Cavern Beat” Returning to The Gathering at Garst

The Cavern Beat will return to The Gathering at Garst for a repeat performance on Saturday July 26, 2014. This will be the Beatles tribute band’s third year to perform at The Gathering at Garst thanks to the Dan Summer’s Memorial sponsorship. Dan was married to Pam Carpenter, a Greenville native, and now resides in San Diego. Pam and Dan loved Greenville and its rich history. After Dan’s passing, Pam wanted to remember his passion for life by making sure his memory lives on. When asked if she would like to sponsor the concert again Pam’s reply was, “I love Greenville, I love The Gathering at Garst, and I love The Cavern Beat. I would be honored to sponsor it again in Dan’s memory.”

This will be a year to celebrate special anniversaries for The Gathering at Garst. The theme this year is “Native American Peace and Friendship Gathering” as we reflect on the second signing of The Treaty of Greenville which took place 200 years ago on July 22, 1814. Many activities and ceremonies are planned in the living history encampment to honor this anniversary. In addition, the other anniversary that is taking place this year is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ debut performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” which was on Feb. 9, 1964. During the Saturday evening concert, The Cavern Beat will bring back those great memories as they play many of the great Beatles songs.

Mark your calendars now for a wonderful weekend of great entertainment as the 4th Gathering at Garst takes place on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27. Additional musical artists will be performing throughout the two-day event.
