Tribute to the Bee Gees Aug. 10 | 7:30 p.m. Amphitheater Stage

AMPHITHEATER CONCERT

Sponsor: Athens Services, Financial Partners Credit Union

Get ready to disco—this week’s Amphitheater show pays tribute to three beloved hit-making brothers of the ‘60s and ‘70s: the Bee Gees.

Brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb won five Grammy Awards and sold more than 220 million records as the Bee Gees, placing them among the best-selling musical artists of all time. In 2015, the band was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammy’s for its body of work.

Their music lives on with John Acosta, who portrays Barry Gibb in Bee Gees Gold: The Tribute, debuting for the first time in Leisure World. Acosta has performed in Bee Gees tributes all over the world for more than 12 years now. He’s joined by Eric Sean as Robin Gibb, who has been singing professionally since the age of 17 and has performed on stages all over the world. Rounding out the trio is Pete Sprague as Maurice Gibb, a native of Washington, D.C., who started piano lessons at the age of 7. He was self-taught until enrolling at the University of Miami where he earned a bachelor’s of music. He operates Firehole Productions, a soundstage and production facility in Las Vegas.

Together, the band performs early Bee Gees songs, from “Massachusetts” and “I Started a Joke” to the later disco classics such as “Stayin’ Alive” and “You Should Be Dancing,” plus hits by Andy Gibb, the youngest of the Bee Gees brothers.

From the look to the sound, this Bee Gees Gold tribute recreates the Bee Gees from the ‘60s to the late ‘70s, with the unique falsettos that made them legends. The Bee Gees Gold tribute is the ultimate salute.

Before the show, people can enjoy al fresco dining with Mandi’s Candies and Koffel’s Taco Truck from 5-7 p.m.
