LOCK HAVEN — Come on out on Sunday, July 26 to enjoy the sounds of AC/DC, performed by Halfway to Hell, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on the Floating Stage.

Founded by Forrest Kline, the outfit’s debut came in November 2013 and since then, Halfway to Hell has gone on to play throughout Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio.

Kline, who uses only his first name, Forrest, in the performance circuit, is the lead vocalist on all of the Bon Scott songs, emulating the voice of AC/DC’s original frontman.

“I went to see them for the first time in 1980,” Forrest said of AC/DC. “They instantly became my favorite band because of the energy, and the songs were catchy and just good, solid, hard, rock ‘n’ roll.”

From 2000 to 2013, Forrest took a hiatus from playing in bands and worked as a sound engineer for Rock Street Music in Pittston.

“When I put it back together, I wanted to do the tribute thing, because I never did the full-out tribute,” he said. “The hard part is you have to find certain characters, and that limits the pool of people. There aren’t many Brian Johnsons out there. And, of course, finding an Angus isn’t easy.”

Halfway To Hell’s current lineup has all the characters in place, and they are portrayed by accomplished musicians who have decades of collective performing experience and have done everything from teach to record music.

Forrest’s resume includes a stint as a singer in a California-based tribute to AC/DC and Judas Priest in which he played alongside current Priest drummer Scott Travis and former Racer X vocalist Jeff Martin.

Don Shoener, of Archbald, is the lead vocalist during songs that AC/DC recorded with Brian Johnson, who filled in after Scott’s death.

Tony Harlan, of Williamsport, is the lead guitarist and does the Angus Young work.

Kevin Palmer, of Nesquehoning, is the rhythm guitarist in the vein of the late Malcolm Young.

Jay Brotter, of Moscow, handles the drumming duties and Gregory Preate, of Harveys Lake, completes the rhythm section on bass.

While the committee is excited to offer these free concerts this summer, residents should remain vigilant to the threat of COVID-19 which has claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Americans and more than 6,000 Pennsylvanians including three in Clinton County.

In order to successfully continue the summer concert series, residents and guests are to follow CDC and DOH guidelines in order to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 including social distancing between non-household members while attending the concert, wearing masks, and sanitizing hands frequently.

To that end, the city will provide hand-washing stations at each of the summer concerts, and seating at the amphitheater will be limited to 250 attendees. Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or is included in a higher risk population are encouraged to keep their health and the health of their fellow residents as their primary interest and not attend.
