A musical journey through one of the most electrifying and impactful times America has ever seen!

The Music Of Sixties San Francisco

Magic Carpet Ride is a musical journey through one of the most electrifying and impactful times America has ever seen. During the summer of 1967 in San Francisco such groups as The Mamas and the Papas, The Doors, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane and The Beatles inspired a cultural revolution that swept across the country. Magic Carpet Ride captures the heart and soul of the era with a dynamic band whose power house vocals and exacting musicianship underscore such classics as "California Dreamin", "San Francisco", "Light My Fire", and "Turn! Turn! Turn!". 
The production also features a masterful light show.
