Axelrod PAC includes Glen Burtnik’s Summer of Love Concert and Best of The Eagles in Summer Schedule
The Axelrod Performing Arts Center has recently announced two exciting additions to its summer concert lineup, transporting audiences back to the vibrant ’60s and ’70s music scene. On August 17, 2025, audiences can experience Glen Burtnik’s Summer of Love Concert, celebrating the iconic Woodstock generation. The concert promises to recreate the spirit of the Woodstock Music & Art Festival with performances of songs by legendary artists from that era. A 14-member band, consisting of seven lead vocalists, a horn section, strings, and a powerful rock rhythm section, will bring the magic of the ’60s to life on stage. Enhanced by psychedelic lighting and video effects, the Summer of Love Concert aims to evoke the essence of a pivotal era that has left a lasting impact on various aspects of life, including art, literature, fashion, attitudes, and language.
Glen Burtnik, the driving force behind the Summer of Love Concert, is known for his work as a former member of Styx and his portrayal of the original Paul McCartney in Broadway’s Beatlemania. Speaking about the concert, Burtnik expressed his deep connection to the music of the ’60s, stating, “I’ve always had a playlist on my iPod named The Summer of Love. I’m a hippie at heart. The music of that era is what’s moved me the most.”
Adding to the summer lineup is the return of Best of the Eagles on August 28, 2025. This band offers a perfect rendition of the Eagles’ music, showcasing exceptional musicianship that mirrors the talents of the original Eagles members both instrumentally and vocally. The Best of the Eagles is not merely a copy band but a group of skilled musicians who authentically recreate the songs, music, vocals, and essence of the iconic American rock band.
The Axelrod Performing Arts Center, located in Deal Park, just a short drive from Asbury Park, invites audiences to enjoy these incredible concerts.
