Penn's Peak will host Jay and the Americans with special guest The Mystics at 8 p.m. June 19.

Jay and the Americans, started by four teenage boys in Sandy Yaguda's Brooklyn basement 50 years ago, is one of the lasting success stories in rock 'n' roll history.Few bands have ever reached the musical heights of Jay and the Americans.From 1962 to 1971, this group charted 12 Top Ten records. With three original band members, founding member Sandy Yaguda (aka Deanne); original member Howie Kirschenbaum (aka Kane); and original member Marty Kupersmith (aka Sanders), plus the addition of Jay Reincke, the third and likely the best "Jay" yet, they have re-created the authentic sound of their greatest hits.Jay and the Americans' first recording was "Tonight" (from the musical West Side Story); but their breakout hit song was "She Cried."The group's next chart hit was "Only In America," followed by top-10 hits "Come A Little Bit Closer," "Cara Mia," and "This Magic Moment."These songs and many others are featured in Jay and the American's show, along with stories of the artists and writers who influenced this 1960s supergroup.Jay and the Americans' recording of "Some Enchanted Evening" holds the record for most copies sold of this legendary musical masterpiece.The group also holds the distinct honor of recording the great Neil Diamond's first hit song, "Sunday and Me."Their recording of "Crying" pays tribute to the legendary Roy Orbison, with whom they toured, along with many other acts including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.In 2002, Jay and the Americans were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, placing them among the greatest vocal groups in rock 'n' roll history.The MysticsThe Mystics have withstood the test of time and continue to bring their music to their fans. To be part of the audience is an experience itself, a trip down memory lane for all ages.Go back to 1959, to doo-wop and harmony light, simple and ever so beautiful. It was the late '50s and the words were heard on the airwaves and fans sung along "Hushabye, hushabye oh my darling don't you cry."Today, two original members George Galfo and Phil Cracolici look back with pride and a new day has begun in keeping those harmonies coming. Joining Phil and George are Rocky Marsicano (formerly of Lenny Cocco & The Chimes, Jay Siegal & The Tokens, and Manhattan Skyline), and Ralph Rati (who fronted the well-known group, Music Box).Tickets are on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn's Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar.
