Rock
and Roll is Alive and Well!
What
began thirty-three years ago as "Harvey Hubcap
and the Do Ron Ron" has evolved into The Fabulous
Hubcaps, one of the nation's most sought after oldies
show bands. Their career has been as diverse and colorful
as the bowling shirts they wear. On any given month,
their schedule may take them from Miami to Pittsburgh,
Atlanta to Detroit, or Albany to Washington, DC. Whether
a black-tie formal affair for the Northern Virginia
Hospital, a 50's Sock Hop for the ASPCA or the Annual
Blow-Out at the Nantucket Yacht Club, the Fabulous Hubcaps
have been the choice of entertainment for decades. The
darlings of the country club circuit, they are also
recruited by American Legions, VFW's, fire companies
and numerous civic organizations for their ability to
sell out a venue, making fund raisers a guaranteed success.
The
band has performed on the South Lawn of The White House
for the 1995 Press Corps Picnic, and sang The National
Anthem in Orioles Park at Camden Yards. They have performed
at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio for The Goodguys/PPG
Nationals, and were mentioned in the 2003 Collector's
Calendar Issue of Street Rodder Magazine. The group
has performed at Inaugurations for Governors Wilkerson
and Patton of Kentucky, as well as being invited to
appear at The Kentucky Derby in 1993. Most recently,
The Hubcaps performed at the Inaugural Ball for Governor
Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Hubcaps fans include Maryland
Senate President Mike Miller, Maryland Senator Barbara
Mikulski, the late Louis S. Goldstein, former Comptroller
of Maryland, and Coach Joe Gibbs of The Washington Redskins.
They have performed with Masters of Ceremonies and guest
speakers that include Bob Dole, Colonel Oliver North,
Leslie Neilson and David Hyde Pierce of "Frasier".
Their
national popularity has gained them the Key to the City
of Frankenmuth, Michigan by Mayor Gary Rupprecht, in
addition to a Proclamation by the City honoring The
Hubcaps for 19 consecutive years of drawing record crowds
to the annual Music Festival there. The Hubcaps have
performed aboard the Carnival Cruise Ship "Fantasy"
and in center field at The Bay Sox Stadium. They are
at home on stages like the state-of-the-art VanWezel
Theatre in Sarasota, Florida, or on a flatbed truck
at a county fair.
On
Sunday, July 17, 2005, The Hubcaps proudly were inducted
into The Southern Legends Entertainment and Performing
Arts Hall of Fame. This great honor was presented by
Sun Record Recording Artist, Vernon Taylor.
Since
their first
45 record in 1982, The Hubcaps have released 17 recordings,
from cassette tapes to their most recent compact discs,
"Proud to be an American" & "Showtime
is Next!". Performing together since 1974, this
seven-piece band shows no signs of slowing down. The
Hubcaps continue to captivate audiences with their high
energy tributes to original artists like Little Richard,
James Brown, Tina Turner, The Flamingos, Fats Domino,
Ray Charles, The Shirelles, The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson
and Frank Sinatra just to name a few. With an extensive
repertoire of do-wop group harmony, classic rock and
roll, Rock-A-Billy, Motown, and R & B music, The
Fabulous Hubcaps are heralded as one of the best oldies
show bands in the country.
The
Fabulous Hubcaps
look forward
to having you share a magical evening of entertainment
with them as they continue to prove that
"Rock and Roll is Alive and Well"!
