Classic rock band The Senders will play a barn dance at 7 p.m. Friday at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn, 419 N. Park Way, Uniontown.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the performance, which will be outside, weather permitting. Tickets are $10 at the door; food, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
The Senders specialize in 1950s and ’60s popular music that combines a love of surf music, The Beatles and classic rock, according to a Dahmen Barn news release.
“The main feature that sets the band apart from others is their desire to play the tunes as close to the originals as possible,” according to the news release.
The group’s members — Hal Logan, on drums; Jim Roberts, on guitar; Jon Anderson, on keyboards and guitar; and Mark Snodgrass, on bass — employ four-part harmonies to recreate sounds from The Beach Boys, The Beatles an ’50s doo-wop groups.
