Beautiful Loser: The Bob Seger Tribute
2026-08-05 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Athens Theatre, 124 N Florida Ave, DeLand, FL, 32720, United States
With a career spanning six decades, Bob Seger has sold more than 75 million records, making him one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012.
In 2018 he announced his final tour, so unfortunately none of us can ever see one of his legendary live performances again.
That is where BEAUTIFUL LOSER fits in
While this band is made up of 7-10 very talented, professional musicians with impressive resumes….including former touring members with Jack Bruce, Todd Rundgren and Alan Parsons Project, this band was created because simply…..they had Their Bob Seger!
Ken Hurley IS their Bob Seger…and when you see and hear him he will be your Bob Seger, too. From Kentucky, Ken started singing at age 7 when his Mom, a renowned Southern Gospel singer, slowly worked him into the family band. A veteran of the South Florida music scene (and of the Marines), he earned a reputation as being a soulful singer with a great voice capable of singing anything….and while that is true… it is when he sings what he really loves, what resonates with him, that it’s really something special.
Fortunately for all his bandmates, and for you, Bob Seger’s music resonates with him, and to hear this band with Ken singing…..well, it is in fact, something special.
Here’s what past guests have to say:

“This band is great! Second time we’ve seen them and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks for bringing them here—we look forward to seeing them again.” — Mabel I.
“Great show! It’s our second year seeing them, and we’ll be back again next year.” — Tom S.
“Beautiful Loser was a beautiful winner! Two hours and fifteen minutes of nonstop excellent musicianship and quality vocals.” — Carlos D.
“Absolutely wonderful performance. Very personal—we even got to talk to them after the show. More than a few times I was lost in their music. Wow!” — Elaine M.
“It was a 10! One of the best concerts we’ve seen at the Athens—and we’ve seen many!” — Roger B.
“We rate Beautiful Loser a 9! The vocals were a little muffled at first but improved throughout. The band’s sound was spot on, and the show lasted over two and a half hours—terrific!” — Joanne L.
“It was one of our favorite shows. He was so much like Seger. The band was great. I give it a 10—excellent! Also loved the 4 o’clock show. Best time for us older folks.” — Harold G.
“Great concert, fun musical performance, nice venue, and relaxed vibe. Really enjoyed the 4 pm performance time. We’ll look forward to more of these matinee shows!” — Nina T.

Brothers Again, A Tribute to the Allman Brothers!
2026-08-08 19:30 - 21:30 | Athens Theatre, 124 N Florida Ave, DeLand, FL, 32720, United States
A Celebration of the Music of the Allman Brothers Band!
‘Brothers Again’ is committed to playing the music of ‘The Allman Brothers Band’ with authenticity, passion and respect. Southern rock is alive and well and authentically performed by Brothers Again! If you’re ready to rock out to your favorite Allman Brothers Band songs, we’ve got you covered!
A mutual love for the music of ‘The Allman Brothers Band’ brought the seven members of ‘Brothers Again’ together. One guitarist growing up in the Mississippi Delta in 1969, listening to them on the only radio station that played their music, would practice along with their songs, trying to understand how they developed their wholly unique combination of rock, blues, jazz and Texas Swing. Each musician in the band has their own memory of how the ABB played a part in the development of their interest in music. The bond that has developed from many hours of rehearsal is obvious in their performance of each song.
Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what past guests have said:
“Absolutely fabulous band! Great sound, great music.” — Wanda K.
“It was even more amazing than last year!” — Frank L.
“Brothers Again were great, and as usual the Athens Theatre did a nice job.” — Maria S.
“They were GREAT! Hope they come back again. All the band members were outstanding!” — Jerry P.
“Loved it! Ten out of ten!” — Denise R.
“Awesome show! Thank you.” — Robert M.
“The seven-man band put on a rocking great show!” — Paula H.

Diamond: A Tribute to Neil Diamond
2026-08-15 19:30 | Athens Theatre, 124 N Florida Ave, DeLand, FL, 32720, United States
DIAMOND is the ultimate tribute to the legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond, as performed by Jack Berrios. This performance captures the feel, sound, passion, and excitement of a real Neil Diamond concert. Jack is joined on stage by his Diamond Crew: The Diamond Girls, Janet Lamb and Kitei, who provide backing vocals and add the glitter to the show. The Brother Love Crew—Bradley Garrison on congas and Talon Berrios on vocals and percussion—bring never-ending energy and excitement to the stage.

DIAMOND has been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Daily Buzz with Andy Campbell, and FUSE TV’s A Different Spin with Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, as part of the Sunburst Convention segments. In May 2008, when Neil Diamond was asked by Magic 107.7 FM radio hosts Dave and Leslye what he thought of Jack’s tribute, Neil replied, “I think it’s terrific.”

Reviews from past patrons include:

Rich P. – Absolutely 10 stars! Please tell me where Diamond will appear next!!!!! Fantastic show!

Peace of Woodstock
2026-08-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Athens Theatre, 124 N Florida Ave, DeLand, FL, 32720, United States
PEACE OF WOODSTOCK is a 90-minute music-and-visuals show that’s an in-the-moment tribute to the celebrated Woodstock Music & Art Fair, the legendary three-day concert that took place in August 1969.
57 years ago, an audience of more than 400,000 travelled to Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in upstate New York to listen to musical acts ranging from Richie Havens and Janis Joplin to Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane the event’s breakout group, and Santana. Woodstock changed everything.
Peace of Woodstock returns you to the event that defined the ‘60s. From the hippie vibe and protest songs to the flowers-in-the-hair attendees clothed in bellbottoms and tie-dye, Peace of Woodstock is a note-perfect tribute to one of popular music’s most monumental moments.
Reviews from past patrons include:

Jan P. – This show was a definite 10. We took my sister-in-law and her husband, and she said she felt like she was 24 again.
Peter M. – Every member of the band was exceptional!

NightBird SWFL-The Ultimate Tribute to Stevie Nicks
2026-08-21 19:30 - 21:00
NightBird SWFL-The Ultimate Tribute to Stevie Nicks is a 6-piece orchestrated dynamic band featuring Angela Chang. They are based out of Southwest Florida and pay tribute to the one and only Stevie Nicks.
NightBird covers songs from Stevie Nicks early career with Fleetwood Mac into her solo career as an artist. This incredible band is known for their authenticity, as Angela delivers Stevie Nicks’ music from the depths of her soul–captivating the audience and creating a moving experience for everyone.
NightBird SWFL- The Ultimate Tribute to Stevie Nicks, is different than that of a Fleetwood Mac tribute since they concentrate primarily on Stevie Nicks and play many different songs during her entire career. They take their audience through the 1970’s into the 80’s and 90’s. Says Angela Chang, lead singer, “We celebrate her as she is the only woman who has been inducted twice into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame!”
If you’re looking for a show packed with high energy, smooth harmonies and heavy percussion sound…. NIGHTBIRD will deliver!!
Reviews from past patrons include:

“Beautiful venue and Nightbird was amazing. They captured Stevie Nicks wonderfully! We enjoyed our evening there immensely.” — Tina G.
“LOVED THE SHOW! Nightbird was truly a real treat for Stevie Nicks fans. Especially loved the extra pieces and stories inserted throughout the evening.” — Michelle P.

NEVER STOP BELIEVIN', THE INCREDIBLE TRIBUTE TO JOURNEY!
2026-08-22 19:30 - 21:30
Steve Perry Returns to Journey!?

It’s the dream of every Journey fan: to witness the incredible lineup that dominated arenas worldwide in the late ’70s, ’80s, and mid-’90s.
Journey Tribute: Never Stop Believin’ makes that dream come true!
This is the ONLY Journey tribute show on the planet that captures the look and sound of the band from the ’70s and ’80s! The show begins with a performance that channels the Evolution and Departure albums from 1978, then transitions to the mid-’80s with a costume change and takes you on a journey through the Escape and Frontiers albums!
Never Stop Believin’ is fronted by an incredible vocalist who looks and sounds just like Steve Perry, bringing the iconic voice and presence to life. The band delivers each song note-for-note, with stunning four-part live vocal harmonies.
For over 18 years, this band has been performing at festivals, top venues, and international locations.
All the hits you love: “Anyway You Want It,” “Who’s Cryin’ Now,” “Wheel in the Sky,” “Open Arms,” “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” “Faithfully,” “Lights,” and of course, “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and many more!

Here’s what past guests have to say:

“Give it a 10. I attended with my husband and another couple, and we all enjoyed the show very much. We’ve attended about a half dozen tribute shows, and they have all been very good, but this one was especially good. The band brought a tremendous amount of energy to the concert, and the lead singer had a really good voice and was very engaging with the audience.” — Kelly S.
“10 out of 10. Can I go higher? All comments I heard from the sold-out crowd agreed. Many of us are “Journey snobs” when it comes to singers trying to emulate the original Steve Perry. This show exceeded all expectations. Rick Allen’s voice is incredible. Have them back, please. Never Stop Believing hit grand slam after grand slam last night.” — Jack K.

Love is strange. Family is stranger.
The Addams Family dishes up a gloriously twisted family comedy built around every parent’s worst nightmare—especially Gomez Addams’. Wednesday, the Addams family’s most delightfully unsettling member has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a painfully normal family her parents have never met. Worse still, she confides in her father and demands absolute secrecy from Morticia, leaving Gomez to attempt the impossible: keeping a secret from his beloved wife. When both families gather for one spectacularly awkward dinner, secrets spill, chaos erupts, and the Addams clan is forced to confront love, change, and what it really means to be “normal.”

Come enjoy a night of laughter with SAK Comedy Lab! Since 1991, their professional ensemble of improve actors has been entertaining audiences with their unique brand of live, improvised comedy. They take your suggestions and create characters, scenes and songs on the spot. Their comedy is sharp, fun and suitable for the entire family.
Comedy for a Cause is a special event sponsored by the DeLand Family YMCA to raise funds for their scholarship campaign. The Deland Family YMCA provides scholarships to children, teens, adults and seniors in our community. These scholarships support essential programs like After-School Enrichment, Summer Day Camp, Swim Lessons, Wellness Programs, Sports and Memberships. This year’s Comedy for a Cause will further help fund these vital programs, ensuring that no one in need is ever turned away.
Join us for a night of comedy and help support the Deland Family YMCA and our local community!
