Don't miss talented local favorites, Chris & Lou, performing the timeless songs of Paul, John, Ringo, and George-- right here in Portage, Indiana!  Chris & Lou 's "Beatles Celebration Concert" will take place on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Woodland Park in Portage, Indiana.  This terrific concert is all part of this year's 2019 Portage Summer Music Series of "FREE" concerts held indoors in Woodland Park's Oakwood Grand Hall, continuing every Tuesday through August. Woodland Park is located just south of US 20 in Portage, at 2100 Willowcreek Road (from US 20 & 249, 1/4 mile east to light, 1/4 mile south to park entrance). Seating is provided and the show is open to the public.     

Praised by music critics and audiences alike, Chris Sulcer and Lou Samaniego have been a Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland popular music attraction since the two teamed up in 2004!  With their impressive vocal harmonies and guitar-playing talents, this dynamic music duo wows crowds every time they perform. For this concert, the pair will draw from their extensive list of Beatles songs they cover, as well as include some of their original songs.  Chris & Lou are indeed also known as a great songwriting team, having won several awards, as well as earning an Emmy nomination for the theme song and the co-producing of "Everything Begins With Today," a promo for the NBC5 News Today TV program from Chicago!

Concessions and a cash bar add to the concert fun-- and there are dance areas for young and old, family and friends, to dance to their favorite Beatles tunes--Yeah!  Yeah! Yeah!
