One of the most recognized voices on radio from the mid 1960s through the early '70s belongs
to The Grass Roots' lead vocalist, Rob Grill. Grill has been the lead singer for the California
pop-rock band since its inception, now 40 years later, he remains the band's only original
member. Grill made the hits "Sooner or Later," "Where Were You When I Needed You,"
"Let's Live for Today," "Temptation Eyes," and "Midnight Confessions" gold and platinum
records. Grill and The Grass Roots continue to play before thousands at more than 100 live
performances each year and the band sounds stronger today than it did when they recorded those
great hits. The Kean Theatre's intimate setting guarantees each audience member the chance to
see these legendary performers up close.
The Grass Roots concert will kick off the Kean Theatre's Summer of Fun Oldies series.
Other performances include Jimmy Beaumont & The Skyliners on June 25, The Fabulous Hubcaps
on July 9, Johnny Angel and the Halos on July 30, The Fantasys on Aug. 13 and Pure Gold on

Series is made possible through Grammy sponsors Armstrong and 3WS, Tony sponsors Mars National
Bank, North Pittsburgh Telephone Company and Northern Connection Magazine, Golden Globe sponsors
DRS Architects and Pepsi, and box office sponsor Tom Henry Chevrolet.
