MLT’s Summer of Music Series continues on Saturday, August 24, at 8 p.m. with an evening of classic rock performed by “The Mugfords.”

The Marblehead-based 60s rock ’n roll cover band will perform music made famous and memorable by the Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and other groups that figured prominently in the British Invasion era.

The group has played at the Hard Rock Cafe, Wick’s in Marblehead, the Marblehead Festival of the Arts, and other local venues over the past 20 years. Their sound features tight vocal harmonies with Debra Basile on bass, Steve Pierce on drums and percussion, Chad Rosen on guitar and keyboard, and Paul Todisco on lead guitar.

Tickets for the “The Mugfords” concert are $10 for students and $20 for adults and can be purchased online at mltlive.org or at the door subject to availability.
