Second Mortgage and the Sofa Kings, one of the area's longest-running good-time bands, will host a reunion concert for the benefit of the Galesburg Orpheum Theatre. The show will mark the band's forty years together and has been dubbed "Paid in Full."Proudly billing itself as "The Band That's Old Enough to Know Better," the show will feature music from the '60s and '70s. "We used to say we were a Beach Boys, Beatles, and Rolling Stones kind of band, but since we added the Sofa Kings, we play a lot of Otis, Aretha and the Temps," said Harry Bulkeley, the guitarist in the band.
The Sofa Kings are a four-piece horn section which adds the Memphis/Muscle Shoals punch behind lead singers Bobby Dillard and Sandy Kuster, both long-time stars on the Galesburg music scene. The original members of the band have been invited back to join their bandmates and Gary Stevens and Steve Flickinger will be there.Long-time bassist Reuel Owen and keyboardist Sheldon Mandel will be joined by Dan Leahy and Tom Morgan, both of whom have played with the band.
Entry for the benefit is a minimum $20 donation for General Admission seating. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, March 31.
