Dixon May Fair Announces Friday Night Concert: Martha Davis and The Motels

News submitted from the Dixon May Fair:

The Dixon May Fair will feature Martha Davis and The Motels in their Friday night concert during this year’s Fair, May 7-10.

Singer/songwriter Martha Davis, who was born and raised in Berkeley, burst onto the New Wave music scene on Sunset Strip with The Motels and was immediately signed to Capitol Records. The band garnered multiple Top 50 records in the eighties including “Only the Lonely,” “Suddenly Last Summer,” and “Remember the Nights.”

Davis took a hiatus from the music scene in 1988 to “find my sense of humor again,” but continued to write and collaborate with other artists and write songs for two musicals. The band started touring again in 2012, including a gig at the legendary Hollywood Bowl and joining the Go-Go’s for a summer tour in 2014. They will arrive in Dixon after a Spring tour on the East Coast.

“We’ve had success with our Friday night concerts featuring country artists the past two years, and this year we wanted to offer something for our classic rock fans,” said Patricia Conklin, CEO of the Dixon May Fair. “Being able to offer entertainment that is included in Fair admission, by acts who have had success on the music charts, is our goal. Providing affordable entertainment for families is a key mission of the Dixon May Fair.”

Martha Davis and The Motels will be performing at 8:00 p.m. Friday May 8, on Picnic Stage.

Discounted tickets to the Fair are now available online at www.DixonMayFair.com or at the Fair office, 655 S. First St., Dixon.
