Music lovers are invited to dig deep in their closet and find those forgotten duds of yesteryear as Tibbits Opera House welcomes The 1985 and their Totally ‘80s Mixtape LIVE! Experience back to the historic venue on Saturday, November 21 at 7:00pm.
The 1985 is the brainchild of Lisa and Dan Vukmirovich, known on stage as Lisa and Danny Vee. Lisa provides lead vocals, with Danny on keyboards, rhythm guitar and vocals. They are joined by Dave “Dr. Feelgood” Taylor on lead guitar, keyboards and vocals, “Captain” Mikey Screes on drums, and Ross “The Boss” Shelton on bass. Lisa and Dan in particular both have ties to the Coldwater community, the band itself has played as part of Coldwater Athletic Boosters events in recent years, and they are excited to bring their full stage experience to Tibbits once again.
The 1985 has toured across the region, bringing their 1980s tribute to venues in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, complete with videos, lights, costumes and their covers of the very best of 1980s rock, pop, new wave, metal and club music. More information on the band and a sample of some of the music currently played at shows can be found at the1985band.com.
As with some previous concerts, Tibbits is also making available an “On Your Feet” section, for those who wish to stand and/or dance through the show without having to worry about bothering other concert-goers. Tickets for this section are demarcated on the ticketing page for The 1985 at Tibbits.org.
Tickets for The 1985 range from $20 to $30 including fees. Tickets will go on sale for Tibbits members at the Benefactor level and above on September 14 and tickets for the general public will go on sale September 21. The performance will be held at the historic Tibbits Opera House, 14 S. Hanchett St., in Coldwater, Michigan. Doors to the lobbies, art gallery and Ghost Light Bar will open at 6:00pm, with seating beginning at 6:30pm. The show will begin at 7:00pm and will run approximately two hours, plus intermission.
From its opening in 1882, Tibbits Opera House has brought touring artists to the community of Coldwater, Michigan, and continues that tradition nearly a century and a half later with musicals, plays, concerts, cultural events, movies and more, in service to arts lovers of all ages.
