Centenary Stage Company’s 2019 Summerfest kicks off Saturday, June 29, with a special performance of Dr. K’s Motown Revue to benefit the Hackettstown Rotary Club.

“Motown is America’s music,” says Dr. K , founding band leader of the Motown Revue.  “Whether you’re young or not, this music is always going to be on the radio. It’s a huge part of our culture and it’ll never die!” 

The concert starts at 8 p.m. in the Lackland Performing Arts Center at Centenary University in Hackettstown. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door with all proceeds benefiting the Rotary Club.

Paul Korman, also known as Dr. K, had a visionary quest to create the ultimate Motown tribute band, and he put together his ideal array of seasoned musicians and singers.  The resulting band of professionals takes the audience on a journey of the Motown sound, keeping the music true to its roots and transporting audiences back to another era with authentic vocal sound of the Motown roster of artists from that time.  The Motown Revue features the music of the Temptations, the Supremes, the Four Tops, Martha and the Vandellas, Marvin Gaye and many more.

The Hackettstown Rotary Club supports groups that include The Arc of Warren County, The Joan Kneckel Cancer Center, Hackettstown High School Scholarship and educational initiatives, Camp MerryHeart/Easter Seals, Habitat for Humanity, The Lord’s Food Pantry, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, NORWESCAP Food Bank, and several Veterans programs.
