Bates Senior, and pianist, Tom Linkas assembles a group of student musicians from Bates and all over New England. They will perform their own personal takes on some Top 40 hits of the last several decades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wharf Cats are a function band who perform around Maine and New England; this ten piece ensemble features a conglomeration of talent from across the country. We have the pleasure of playing our own takes on some top 40 hits in the beautiful Olin Concert Hall for this performance. The set list will feature songs that The Wharf Cats have performed through the years that are learned entirely by ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
