Halloween Bash promises spooktacular night of music, dancing, food, fun and special appearances

FALLBROOK – Get ready to dance the night away at the Halloween party of the year! On Oct. 26, there will be a concert and fundraising event featuring an ensemble of exceptional talent, all under the banner of Triple Treat Entertainment.

The new location is the 127 W. Social House in downtown Fallbrook.

The spotlight will be on three dynamic dance bands, each consisting of incredible musicians dressed in full costume, making for a truly unforgettable experience.

In addition to great music, there will be a full bar, catered food, raffle prizes, silent auction, and nostalgia candy for sale. The two nonprofits to benefit from the event are: The Fallbrook Historical Society and Mentoring for Purpose.

The cost is only a $10 donation in advance or $20 at the door with the opportunity to purchase food, drinks and nostalgia candy inside.

Leading the musical charge is Jack Kovic, a longtime Fallbrook resident and a figure deeply rooted in the local music scene. Recently retired from his business, Jack's Music, above Harry's Pub, he's been a staple in the community, imparting his musical wisdom to countless students over the years.

Interestingly, Kovic is the younger brother of Ron Kovic, author of the best-selling memoir and Oscar-winning film, "Born on the Fourth of July."

Reflecting on his early days, Jack Kovic shared, "Back in high school, I played in a band with the guys who became the Stray Cats. Brian Setzer charged me $5 a lesson to learn his guitar licks. We both studied jazz guitar under the renowned Ray Gogarty, who pushed me to read saxophone solos to improve my chops."

With a decade of service in the Navy and a career as a stockbroker for Washington Mutual, Kovic's diverse background enriches his musical contributions.

Joining him on stage will be the immensely talented Kenny Marquez, whose career soared with the band Renegade. With a multi-million selling album, "Rock 'n' Roll Crazy," still available on Amazon, Marquez's music resonates with fans worldwide.

Alongside his wife, Tara B., the couple performs as an acoustic duo known as The Spell, captivating audiences throughout Southern California. Tara B, also a celebrated artist, has made waves with her original music from her album "Supposed To Be," available on all major streaming platforms.

Marquez and Tara B's collaborations have garnered acclaim, opening for legends like LA Guns and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Currently recording for Voyage Entertainment Records, they have two new singles – "Smoldered Out" and "Everything I Own" – topping the charts in six countries. "We can't wait to bring our energy to the Halloween bash," said Marquez, his excitement palpable. "It's going to be a night to remember!"

Anchoring the rhythm section is drummer Jolene Smith, whose infectious energy and precision have made her a beloved figure in the Southern California music community. Growing up in Chicago, Smith was immersed in a world of music from an early age thanks to her musician parents.

As co-founder and musical director of the Las Palmas Percussionists, a children's performance group based in San Clemente, her passion for music education shines through. Her experience spans a multitude of bands across Southern California, and her driving beat will undoubtedly keep the crowd on their feet.

This Halloween concert promises to be an electrifying night filled with captivating music, spectacular performances, and an inviting atmosphere. As attendees don their best costumes and dance the night away, they will also be contributing to a worthy cause, with proceeds from the event supporting local initiatives and community projects.

"Don your dancing shoes and get ready to live the dream this Halloween," urged Kovic. "We're ready to make some memories and raise funds for our community!"
