Here are pictures from Thursday (May 25), the first night of the Memorial Day weekend edition of the PA Roundhouse Rally Summer Series 2023 at Roundhouse Harley-Davidson near Duncansville.
Festivities commenced this night with Felix & the Hurricanes performing on the railcar stage. The Hurricanes again demonstrated why they are one of this area’s premiere rock groups, as they read the crowd, set the tone early and built steam as they went along. And this group has the knack of making each of their tunes sound nuanced, fresh and new, even after you’ve heard them many times before. The group did numbers from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Al Green, Allman Brothers, Cream, ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Santana, Pat Travers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Boz Scaggs, Blackfoot, Ted Nugent, their own original songs and more.
Along the way, guest harmonica player Jim “Juga” McConnell joined the group on several songs, and guest singer John Shimko belted his best Danny Joe Brown growl on the Hurricanes’ rendition of the Allmans/Molly Hatchet’s “Dreams I’ll Never See.”
Most of these pictures show the Hurricanes, along with the “Q Crew” and a few other scenes from Thursday’s opening day of the PA Roundhouse Rally.
