KPOV 88.9 High Desert Community Radio celebrates its ninth birthday and the 50th anniversary of the Beatles coming to America with the Fifth Annual Beatles Singalong on Friday, June 13, from 7-10pm at the Old Stone Church, 157 NW Franklin in Bend.

Six local bands—Parlour, Rockhounds, The Mostest, Rum and the Sea, Paul Eddy and the Silver Hammers—will play Beatles songs while audience members sing along with lyrics projected onto a screen. Ukulele University will play Beatles songs outside the venue as the audience arrives.

Food and refreshments will be available, including beer from Three Creeks Brewery and wine and sangria from Volcano Vineyards, food from local businesses and birthday cake. A silent auction and a raffle will feature donated items from local businesses. The evening’s festivities will include a costume contest with locals dressed as a Beatle or in period clothing and a Beatles trivia competition.
