From the opening night shows featuring The “Happy Together” Turtles through the closing night by Arlo “The City of New Orleans” Guthrie, Flower Power will feature live performances by musicians who took part in capturing an era in song.
Among them, the Flower Power acts contributed to 118 Top 40 hits, including 15 No. 1s, according to information supplied by Walt Disney World's public relations department.
The 1980s and 1990s also are represented in this year's lineup, by Starship and The Nelsons. But both of those acts have roots deeply within the '60s. Starship "grew" from Jefferson Airplane. The Nelsons are Gunnar and Matthew, the identical twin sons of rock legend Ricky Nelson.
A total of 15 acts will take the stage during the six-week Flower Power Concert Series, including such international chart-toppers as Davy Jones, Herman's Hermits with Peter Noone, Paul Revere and The Raiders, and Gary Puckett.
