The Suffolk welcomes back “Electric Avenue: The ’80s MTV Experience” on Friday, June 27, at 8 p.m.

An Electric Avenue show is a high energy space that reminds people of a time when they came home from school, put a record on, and listened with open ears and an open heart; conjuring first dates, first cars, prom nights, weekend movies, meeting friends at the mall, while finding a sense of fashion and an identity all their own. In this show, 1980s music is as alive and well today as it has ever been.

Electric Avenue has sailed the high seas with “The Walking Dead” cast, Kid Rock, The Impractical Jokers, Joey Fatone and Pitbull. In 2019, the band was hand-picked and flown to Asbury Park, New Jersey to provide the soundtrack for the red carpet launch of the Bruce Springsteen, Gurinder Chadha (“Bend It Like Beckham”), New Line Entertainment 1980s-centric film, “Blinded By The Light.” The group has had the privilege of being direct support for legend Pat Benatar, and has been joined on stage by, among others, members of Toto, Player, Talk Talk, and Little River Band.
