The Golden Age of Rock spawned The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Temptations, The Supremes, Aretha, Springsteen, The Eagles, and the list goes on and on.  Carrying on this tradition of musical greatness are Northeastern Ohio’s Mainstreet Lions.  Much more than an “oldies band”,  Mainstreet Lions lend their vast array of musical talents to perform an impressive range of musical styles from The Woodstock Generation, The British Invasion, Classic Rock to Modern Rock ; roots Rhythm & Blues and funky Motown Soul – THE WAY IT SHOULD BE PLAYED!!!
