It will be a sock hop at the Oxford Community Center on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m., as the Fabulous Hubcaps take the stage. Performing together and wowing audiences since 1974, the Hubcaps have played everywhere from Miami to Detroit, including The White House and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Tickets to the show are $25, purchasing ahead of time is recommended.
What began forty-two years ago as “Harvey Hubcap and the Do Ron Ron” has evolved into The Fabulous Hubcaps, one of the nation’s most sought after nostalgia show bands. Their career has been as diverse and colorful as the bowling shirts they wear. Whether a black-tie formal affair for the Northern Virginia Hospital, a 50’s Sock Hop for the ASPCA or the Annual Blow-Out at the Nantucket Yacht Club, the Fabulous Hubcaps have been the choice of entertainment for decades. The darlings of the country club circuit, they are also recruited by American Legions, VFW’s, fire companies and numerous civic organizations.
The band has performed on the South Lawn of The White House for the Press Corps Picnic, and sang The National Anthem in Orioles Park at Camden Yards. They have performed at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio for The Goodguys/PPG Nationals, and were mentioned in the Collector’s Calendar Issue of Street Rodder Magazine. The group has performed at Inaugurations for Governors Wilkerson and Patton of Kentucky, as well as the Inaugural Ball for Governor Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The Hubcaps were personally invited to appear at The Kentucky Derby. Hubcaps fans include Maryland Senate President Mike Miller, Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski, the late Louis S. Goldstein, former Comptroller of Maryland, and Coach Joe Gibbs of The Washington Redskins. They have performed with Masters of Ceremonies and guest speakers that include Bob Dole, Colonel Oliver North, and David Hyde Pierce of “Frasier.”
With sounds of Do-Wop, Country, Motown, Group Harmony, Rockabilly, Classic Rock and Roll, The Hubcaps will take you back in time on a journey you won’t forget.
