Music on the Delaware is thrilled to have Back to the Garden, 1969 in concert at the historic Walton Theatre on Saturday, October 5th, at 7:30pm.

Fifty-five years ago, The Woodstock Music Festival was the ultimate rock concert celebrating peace, love, and music.

Gary Adamson, founder/leader of BACK TO THE GARDEN 1969, has gathered a group of seasoned players who have toured, performed, and recorded nationally. The musicians all are multi-instrumentalists, as well as unique lead vocalists who bring to life the music and spirit of the Woodstock era. By performing these well-loved favorites, they remind us of the astounding breadth and depth of the music of the Woodstock generation.

The musical performances are a tribute to the artists who made Woodstock great including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Canned Heat, Ten Years After, The Who, Mountain, Richie Havens, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe & The Fish…and more!

Most tribute bands perform the music of only one artist. Back to the Garden, 1969 is a tribute to a very special moment in time, and to the many artists whose music will forever be known as “Classic Rock.” From nostalgic Baby Boomers to intrigued Gen Z'ers, and all those in between, there is something in this show for everyone!
