Young@Heart, a renowned group of seniors ages 73 to 88, will perform in the area December 6. Hatboro-Horsham High School will rock ‘n’ roll with the music of Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Coldplay and others, but don’t think it’s just another school dance, concert by an upstart local band or fundraiser.
These musicians more resemble the grandparents of the school kids themselves and they’re bringing their rockin’ show to Horsham in a concert that has been wildly successful with fans of all ages worldwide.
