(PRWEB) April 03, 2018 -- The Chisholm Trail Arts Council(CTAC), through the generous support of First Bank & Trust and Duncan Area Development Foundation (DAEDF), is pleased to present Woodie and the Longboards as the last program of their 2017-2018 CTAC Live Concert Series. The night is guaranteed to be full of fun and dancing to this Beach Boys tribute band that and begins at 7:30pm in the Simmons Center’s Chisholm Trail Hall located at 800 Chisholm Trail Parkway in Duncan, OK.
John “Woodie” Keating started Woodie and the Longboards in 2002. Having just left a position as front man for a Disney house band, John assembled musicians he had enjoyed working with over the years to focus on performing music from the 60’s and 70’s. This gave rise to “That 70’s Band” and “That 60’s Band”. An agent from the Pacific Northwest asked for a more “beachy” sounding name that he could use to book the band as a Beach Boys Tribute for an Oregon casino. John quickly decided on Woodie and the Longboards and has never looked back.
Coming all the way from California, meet the band members: John (Woodie) Keating is the founding member and manager of the group. In addition to leading the Longboards, John is also a fifth grade teacher in California. He plays guitar, keyboards, sings and is the front man for the group.
