A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...A musical comedy tribute to the harmonic Boy's bands of the early 50s and 60s. Forever Plaid is the story of four young guys, Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie, who have been practicing in the basement of Smudge’s family’s plumbing supply company, dreaming about success. On the way to their first big gig at the airport Hilton, they get into an unfortunate accident with a school bus. But they return to Earth to present their final concert and hopefully earn a place in the heavens forever.
Will they overcome asthma, ulcers, nerves, and forgotten lyrics? Will they find the perfect chord? With a warmth and cleverness, Forever Plaid is a delightful, mischievous, and unashamedly heartwarming homage to the sweet and innocent sounds of the ‘50s and the ‘60s and features popular hits such as “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “16 Tons,” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing”..."
