The
Jackets
6:00 p.m. -9:15 p.m.
The 2008 Hoyt Lakes Water
Carnival will include the return of one of the
Iron Ranges premier rock & roll bands of the
80's and 90's! The band formed in January of
1980, and made a run of 15 years through the mid
90's. The lineup for this year's reunion show
will include original members, Rick Whiteman, a
Hoyt Lakes alumnus, on lead Guitar and Vocals,
now residing in the Twin Cities. Tom Barber,
from Sparta on Rhythm Guitar and Vocals. Mike
Koski, from Lake Leander, on drums and vocals.
On bass Guitar and Vocals will be Dave Takkonen,
from South Grove. Dave joined the Jackets in the
late 80's taking over for the original bassist,
Rich Reynolds, who was unavailable for this
year's reunion.
This promises to be fun for the
musicians and the old/new fans alike! The band
will be resurrecting many of the old hits from
the 80's as well as some of the more obscure and
the one hit wonder bands that the Jackets made a
tradition of introducing to their faithful. It
should be a trip down memory lane for all and a
great opener for the annual Water Carnival
Celebration.
