TUSCUMBIA-Cloverdale native Kenneth Lovelace, a member of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and members of his band the Five Jets, will be on hand at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame November 18 to perform a concert for all their fans.
“You never know what great music you’ll hear at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.” said Manager Dixie Griffin. “It will be so much fun to have The Five Jets entertain us with music from the 50’s and 60’s.”
The Lovelace family is one of the earliest Shoals area families to have multiple members in the music industry. Kenneth, his cousins Jimmy and Raymond Lovelace, their aunt Christine Gentry and cousins Sam and Judd Phillips all worked in the industry.
The Five Jets, which included Lovelace, cousins Jimmy and Raymond, as well as Bob Cox, Ed Goodwin, and Don Moore began playing music as youngsters. The band was a popular draw on the Southeastern club circuit and beyond between 1955 and 1971. In 2006 the band reunited after releasing a new CD, and they are still playing together today.
Kenneth Lovelace is the band director and lead guitarist for famed Rock and Roll legend, Jerry Lee Lewis. Come out and join the fun. Meet the musicians in the Lovelace family and listen to the tales only they can tell and music only they can play.
Admission is $10.00 per person. There will be two shows – 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the museum. A cash bar offering beer and Pepsi products will be available.
Limited capacity, please call or visit the Alabama Music Hall of Fame for tickets 256-381-4417.
