"We will perform everything from America to Led Zeppelin," said George Pena, a member of the band Sling Shot, when describing the group's new show "Rock and Soul Revival," which will be featured as part of the Honey Brook Borough Concerts in the Park series. The performance will take place on Sunday, July 16, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in Honey Brook Borough Park, 71 Pequea Ave. (Route 10), Honey Brook.

In addition to Pena, lead singer and guitarist, Sling Shot includes Greg Treadwell on bass guitar, drummer Marcello Alvsi and Joe Wasko on keyboard and vocals. The current band members, who all hail from Chester County, have been playing together for the past six years, although the band has been in existence for 12 years.

"Rock and Soul Revival," which the band will perform throughout the summer, includes classic rock, the rhythm and blues sounds of the1960s and music from the 1980s. Audiences can expect to hear songs by Hall & Oates, the Beatles, the Allman Brothers Band, Marvin Gaye and Chicago. There is even an instrumental version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."

"We play a lot of music that is common to people when they hear it. In our set list we do 'Beginnings' by Chicago and 'Sara Smile' by Hall & Oates - stuff you don't hear many bands try to do," said Pena. "We are not a typical classic rock band. Our main strength is the material we play. It's not about the light show or (fireworks) going off. We give a good product, and the material fits just about everybody."

Pena said that band members enjoy playing outdoor concerts. "It's always fun to do outdoor venues because there is a broad section of people (and) they are there to see the entertainment," he said, noting that audience members are welcome to get up and dance to the music. "We're not a dance band, but we play music that people want to dance to."
