Juju Eyeball is a Beatles’ cover band formed in 2015 in Bend. They are dedicated to bringing the Fab Four’s classic songs back to life — in all their original rock power. The four members of the band (two guitars, keyboards, bass and drums) all sing lead and harmonies to perfection. They are versatile enough to play beautiful ballads like Something and Yesterday, rock hard on Back in the USSR and Revolution, bring the Summer of Love back to life with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and A Day in the Life and get the whole crowd up and dancing to the early hits like She Loves You and Can’t Buy Me Love.
Hokulea Dancers
Wednesday, September 8 – 6pm
Redmond’s very own traditional Hawaiian Dancers are back and are always a crowd favorite! This high-energy troop will showcase traditional Hawaiian Island dance and drumming. Led by Hawaiian Natives Novelen and Joey Tavita, they bring a true taste of the Islands with many generations of their family and friends. Come join us as we say Aloha to summer in the true Hawaiian style.
