Who Are You - A Who Tribute
2026-07-31 20:00 - 22:30 | Revolutionary Valley Regional Tourism Council, 240 Central Street, lowell, MA, 01852, United States
WHO ARE YOU – A Tribute to THE WHO featuring Carl Dixon-former singer for The Guess Who (touring version).
“If you want a truly incredible live WHO experience like no other, go see these guys! WHO ARE YOU recreate the sound on stage that will make any WHO maniac smile. If your a true WHO fan like me for over forty years, you will not be disappointed…Pure genius, high energy, and a fantastic sprinkle of WHO ARE YOU putting their own little touch on the greatest music ever made..”// Rob A.-Oswego, NY
“It was a fantastic musical experience with a balance of faithful reproduction of the Who and your personal signature/interpretation..” // Tom R.-Marlborough, MA
The music of The Who defined a generation, and more, has successfully managed to withstand the test of time. When it comes to pop music, success is measured by longevity, and songs like “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” or “Behind Blue Eyes” are just as relevant now as they were when Pete Townshend penned them decades ago.
No one wrote quite like him, as no voice compares to Roger Daltrey’s and no rhythm section quite measures up to the bar set by John Entwistle and Keith Moon. However, Massachusetts-based tribute band, Who Are You, have dedicated themselves to providing the most authentic Who experience they can.

Best Friends Girl – the #1 CARS experience
Best Friends Girl recreate the timeless hits of The Cars spanning a 35-year career, with over 23 million albums sold and having more than 22 songs on the Billboard top 100. The Cars undoubtedly left their mark in popular culture with notable hits like “Best Friends Girl,” “Shake It Up,” “Magic,” “Lets Go” and of course, “Moving in Stereo” which gained notoriety from its placement in the movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” Best Friends Girl are comprised of lifelong, top-notch, professional musicians whose goal is to keep the music of The Cars alive with every performance!
The Cars’ journey began with Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr collaborating on several projects in the early 70’s. Ric and Benjamin eventually completed the lineup with Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton, and David Robinson in Boston in 1976. In the confusion left behind from the death of disco and the angst of punk, they forged a new direction bringing together the synthesizer sound with classic rock and roll roots. It created a unique sound for the time and icon John Lennon became a fan stating, “I think The Cars’ ‘Touch and Go’ is right out of the fifties ‘Oh, oh…‘ A lot of it is fifties stuff. But with eighties styling.”
