Happy Together Tour with The Association, Jason Scheff, and more

The Association, formed in 1965, became known for smooth harmonies and pop/rock hits like "Cherish," "Windy," and "Never My Love." Kansas-born Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander from Tennessee led the group, which achieved chart-topping success in the late '60s. Their dynamic sound occasionally ventured into psychedelia and garage-punk. Albums like *And Then...Along Comes the Association* and singles like "Along Comes Mary" solidified their place in pop history, despite struggles with label issues and personnel changes. They played an iconic set at the Monterey Pop Festival, further showcasing their musical prowess.

Jason Scheff, born in San Diego, became the lead vocalist of Chicago in 1985, succeeding Peter Cetera. Known for his songwriting, vocals, and musicianship, he contributed significantly to the band's success during the 80s and 90s. Scheff is a key figure in Chicago's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legacy.

British band The Troggs, from Andover, are known for proto-punk hits like "Wild Thing" and "Love Is All Around." They influenced punk pioneers and worked with R.E.M.
