Be prepared to be transported back in time to an era of nostalgia and euphoria.

That’s the experience the audience can expect when TimeWhys returns for the third year and performs from 5:15 to 7:30 p.m. Friday on the Main Stage at this year’s Palmerton Community Festival.

Tom Drago, lead vocals and keyboards, said the five-member band plays music from the ’60s, ’70s and beyond.

Drago said the band plans to perform hits such as “Little Willy,” “These Boots are made for Walking,” “The Mighty Quinn,” “Bee Gees Medley,” “Disco Medley,” “Venus,” “Love Her Madly,” “Love Train,” “Love Rollercoaster,” “September” and “Spirit in the Sky.”

“Performing at the Palmerton Community Festival is always a special experience for us,” he said. “The setting itself, in this beautiful mountain community, creates the perfect backdrop for music and connection. But what truly makes it unforgettable are the people — the incredible fans who come out year after year with their enthusiasm, energy and love for ’60s and ’70s live music.

“We feel so grateful to share these moments with a community that not only appreciates the music, but also embraces the spirit of coming together. Every time we play here, we’re reminded why we love doing what we do.”

According to the band’s website, what sets TimeWhys apart is not just their musical prowess, but also their versatility as multi-instrumentalists. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, they summon the sounds of a full ensemble, delivering performances that resonate with depth and richness.

In the kaleidoscope of musical history, there are echoes of eras that resonate deeply within our collective memory.

TimeWhys, comprising Mark, Tom, Dano, Lynda and Jeff, stands as a beacon, illuminating the timeless melodies of the 1960s and 1970s while seamlessly transcending into the contemporary realm.

Formed with a shared passion for the golden age of pop rock, TimeWhys breathes new life into classics that once dominated the airwaves when AM radio reigned supreme. The members’ dedication to authenticity is unwavering, as they meticulously recreate the intricate details of beloved songs, ensuring that audiences experience them just as they remember.

The accolades bestowed upon TimeWhys are a testament to their talent and dedication.

The band clinched the Morning Call Reader’s Choice Award for Best Local Band for the sixth time, cementing their status as hometown heroes. With a dedicated following of over 2,800 fans on Facebook, TimeWhys has cultivated a community of music enthusiasts who eagerly anticipate their next performance.

Over the last few years, TimeWhys had the honor of opening for the legendary 1960s acts, “The Cyrkle,” and “The Duprees,” further solidifying their place in musical history. Those prestigious opportunities, coupled with their dynamic presence as the house band for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce annual meeting for the last three years, underscored their ability to captivate diverse audiences with their timeless sound.

As their shows for 2025 continue to sell out, TimeWhys remains committed to the mission of reviving the electrifying music of yesteryear. Whether gracing the stage of a winery, festival, corporate event or intimate nightclub, TimeWhys invites audiences to embark on a journey through rock ‘n’ roll history.

Booking early is advised, as experiencing TimeWhys live is an opportunity not to be missed.
