Mike McDonald has performed in 50 countries for our troops with the USO and has been seen on HBO, Showtime, The Comedy Channel & MTV.  Mike has shared the stage with Robin Williams, Steven Wright, Chris Rock, and Paula Poundstone.  Mike once saved a group of kids who were crying by taking away a man’s Trombone.

 

Ken Rogerson, “The funniest man you’ve never heard of,” started his comedy career working the Chicago club circuit and at the famed Second City. As a national headliner, Ken has performed all over the world.

Mike McCarthy has been seen on Showtime and Comedy Central. Mike is known throughout the industry as the Comedy Barbarian, his high-energy style of humor will leave the audience bouncing off the walls and gasping for breath. He rarely wears pants on stage,.. Usually you’ll find him in a Kilt.

THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE aims to be the most authentic tribute show to the Eagles available today. There are many great bands on the road that market themselves as a “Tribute to the Eagles” or a “Tribute to Eagles music”, but this does not make them an actual “TRIBUTE SHOW”.  With a one-to-one lineup that reflects the Eagles during their heyday in the late 1970s, the members of THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE each emulate their respective “Eagle”, playing the correct instrument and singing the songs as sung by their protege.

As a testiment to the group’s accuracy and authenticity, they headlined the 2021 “STANDIN” ON THE CORNER” Festival in Winslow, Arizona, co-billing with American Idol winner Jake Hoot.

THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE performs ALL their material absolutely LIVE, without any pre-recorded backing tracks or “digital assistance”.

THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE only plays songs written and recorded by the Eagles as a band, from their biggest hits to hidden gems. While there were many great songs by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh as solo artists, the Eagles created more than enough musical material to fill an entire evening, and then some.

A True Town Square

Connect With the Community to Learn, Share & Discuss

Historically, The Opera House served as a centerpiece of the community, making this fully restored landmark ideal to serve as the Lakes Region’s “public square.” Borrowing from Thomas Jefferson, we believe the American government is not by the majority, but by the majority who participates.

The Laconia Daily Sun, along with members of the local business community, will host a series of public events in Laconia aimed at building civic dialogue, helping those with opposing views have meaningful conversations, and ultimately, lead to more participation in our Democracy.

Everything Old is New Again

The Historic Lakeport Opera House is Back and Better than Ever!

It’s been decades since Lakeport’s historic opera house was closed. But, after months of restoration, The Opera House – first opened in 1882 – has reopened! Not content to merely restore this fantastic venue, The Opera House now boasts contemporary elements that make it the perfect venue for musical performances, community events, and other private gatherings.

Once a mainstay of Laconia’s Lakeport community, the historic Opera House is set to be once again center stage for all of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region.
