🎶 1986: A Musical Time Capsule with Tod Macofsky and the Gand Band 🎶
December 19
Step into 1986—the year pop got bigger, rock filled arenas, synths ruled the radio, and MTV helped turn hit songs into full-blown cultural moments. From new wave and glossy pop to power ballads, R&B, funk and arena rock, 1986 delivered one of the decade’s most unmistakable soundtracks.
Award-winning vocalist Tod Macofsky, joined by Palm Springs favorites The Gand Band, guides audiences through this unforgettable year with powerhouse vocals, dynamic arrangements, engaging storytelling, and plenty of opportunities to sing along.
It was the year Whitney Houston became one of pop music’s defining new voices, Prince topped the charts with “Kiss,” Madonna dominated with True Blue, Janet Jackson broke through with Control, and Bon Jovi unleashed Slippery When Wet. The charts also welcomed everything from Pet Shop Boys and Peter Gabriel to Robert Palmer, Steve Winwood, The Bangles and Cyndi Lauper.
Whether you're singing along to “How Will I Know,” “Kiss,” “Addicted to Love,” “West End Girls,” “Sledgehammer,” “Higher Love,” “Take My Breath Away,” “True Colors,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” or “Walk Like an Egyptian,” you’ll be transported back to a year when pop music was colorful, ambitious and gloriously larger than life.
More than a concert, this performance is a celebration of the music, fashion and unforgettable moments of 1986. Dress the part, sing along, and relive the era of big hair, denim, neon, music videos, power ballads and some of the most enduring hits of the ’80s.
