Final performance for Endless Summer

The Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Endless Summer played what it said would be its final show Saturday afternoon at Central Park in Charles City as part of the community’s Fourth of July Weekend celebration. For over 35 years, Endless Summer has delivered a variety of music, with a song list that spans from the 1950s to the 1980s, to venues large and small throughout Eastern Iowa and elsewhere. The Charles City band has released two studio albums — consisting completely of cover songs — and was inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. The original Endless Summer lineup, in 1985, included Bill Wolfe, Gene Parson, Med Lewis, John Simon, Gary Parson and Shorty Shatek. (Press photo James Grob)
