North Merrick gets musical taste of Sonny and Cher

Posted

Sonny and Cher’s iconic music seeped through Patty and Rob Walsh’s speakers as the duo performed a medley of songs made popular by the 1960s and 1970s power couple.

The Walsh duo sang songs like “I Got You Babe” and “The Beat Goes On” to a crowd at the North Merrick Public Library on July 13. The Sonny and Cher Tribute with Rob and Patty is one of a few musical concerts lined up as part of the library’s Summer Outdoor Music Concert Series.

The library’s next concert will be Nina et Cetera: The Warp and Weft of American Music, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m. The program will include music by Johnny Cash, Elvis, Ray Charles, Robert Johnson and Billie Holiday.
