Biography

Take a Groovy Trip back to the ‘60s with The Large Flowerheads!

Imagine being part of the scene when the songs spoke of love, sunshine, and happiness. The Large Flowerheads bring to life the musical sights & sounds of the ‘60s. They "look like the 60s with their Paisley shirts and Nehru jackets and they sound enough like the bands of that era to be the real thing." - Jack Fichter, Cape May County Herald

Their repertoire includes numbers from The Box Tops, Buckinghams, Question Mark and The Mysterians, Neil Diamond, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Rolling Stones, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Tommy James & The Shondells, Eric Burdon & The Animals, The Doors, Cream, Procol Harem, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, The Human Beinz, and The Hollies. "They perform these timeless classics with a sense of perfection rarely heard in a cover band." - Michael McKenna, Music Reviewer

The Large Flowerheads have opened for Herman's Hermits, The 5th Dimension, The Guess Who, The Tubes, The Dan Band, and The Vogues. At Wildwood’s Sensational ‘60s Weekend, they warmed up the crowd for The Grass Roots, Gary Puckett & the Union Gap, and Paul Revere & the Raiders.

Notable stages played include the Musikfest Café in Bethlehem PA, Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe PA, Sellersville Theater in Sellersville PA, Hollywood Casino in Hershey PA, Mt. Airy Casino in Mt. Pocono PA and TD Bank Amphitheater in Bensalem PA. They can also be seen performing at fairs, festival and summer concert series throughout the region, including Musikfest.

They won "Best Entertaining Band" and "Best Cover Band" at the 2011 & 2012 Lehigh Valley Music Awards.

Named after a carton of artificial flowers spotted in a warehouse rehearsal space, The Large Flowerheads consist of Maureen “Moe” Jerant on drums, Greg Geist on rhythm guitar and mandolin, Billy Trexler on lead guitar and electric sitar, and John Harkins on keyboards and bass guitar. Their home is the Lehigh Valley, PA.
