Summer Haze, a local band that has been playing since the 60s, will play at Sugar River Lanes in Belleville on Saturday, January 26, 2019, as a benefit for the Forever 56 Foundation, created in memorial of Eric O’Connor who died in an accident in 2017. The Forever 56 Foundation benefits local youth through scholarships and sponsorships. The band got together to reminisce on old memories and compile Summer Haze: As Legend Has It. They hope to you enjoy the biography and see you all out on January 26th for another reunion show!

Summer Haze was formed in 1968 and officially disbanded in 2000, and all the band members continued on with other musical projects and pursuits. Still, Summer Haze has never really gone away, and fortunately for the faithful fans, the band has felt a need to continue to play its expansive song list, spurred on by intensive supporter demand. The band’s eternalness, and their love of the fans, the music, and one another, has resulted in two to four Summer Haze “reunion” shows a year since 2000. Their shows are priceless because of the pure joy and memories generated by the band, the music, and the fans…and Doug, Dale, Duane, Scott, Franz and John can still ROCK! Like fine wine (Bailey’s Run ‘Summer Haze’ wine, perhaps?), the band keeps getting better with age. Let the ROCK SHOW commence! We salute you!
