The Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce has issued the following press release:
From February through July 2022, the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce, working in collaboration with James Elliott Entertainment, will host a series of free, monthly tribute band concerts at the new Palm Springs Downtown Park.
The tribute band performances will be held on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. Only acts who look, sound, and perform like the real thing will be featured.
Kicking off the whole affair on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 will be TLR – Experience the Eagles Music, a hardworking and much in-demand tribute band based in Los Angeles. Other tribute groups scheduled to appear include those devoted to the music of Elton John, Madonna, Tina Turner, Fleetwood Mac, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The concert series is FREE and open to everyone. Bring your beach chairs and blankets and enjoy live entertainment in our beautiful new downtown park.
Co-producer James Elliott Entertainment has more than 20 years of experience in the music industry. His company books acts at several casinos, and currently provides tribute bands to the Lake Arrowhead Concert Series.
Sponsors of this series are the City of Palm Springs, Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism, PS Resorts, and Palm Springs Preferred Small Hotels. To market the entire affair, the Chamber will enlist the assistance of the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism as well as Visit Greater Palm Springs. If the initial set of shows proves successful, the series may continue throughout the summer and year-round.
“Our city now has the perfect outdoor venue in which to host a concert series like this,” says Chamber CEO Nona Watson, adding that all current COVID-19 safety protocols will be followed. “Our goal is to bring visitors and residents from throughout the Coachella Valley to downtown Palm Springs during the middle of the week so as to provide a boost to our local bars, restaurants, and retail businesses. We also believe these special events will increase hotel room nights thanks to those attending weekend conventions and events extending their stays.”
