The 2008 season lineup

Our slate of acts for the 2008 season brings back some favorites nominated by the community, and it promises an exciting summer by the lake. The season's title sponsor is Karen Hoberg of Rancho Murieta Homes and Land.

The season opens June 7 with Joel Mason's tribute to Elton John. Mason's show drew a crowd of more than 1,000 when he last appeared at Lake Clementia Amphitheater, in July 2005.

ETC asked the community last year to help choose the acts for the 2008 season, its seventh at Clementia. Here's the full calendar:

• June 7: Joel Mason's tribute to Elton John.
• July 5: Papa Doo Run Run -- California beach music and classic rock.
• July 19: Highway 101 -- country/rock music.
• Aug. 9: Hotel California -- tribute to the Eagles. The band appeared at Clementia in 2006, and it is the band the community most requested to return.
• Sept. 6: Celebrate with Peter Rivera -- He's the original drummer for Rare Earth (hits: "Get Ready," "I Just Want to Celebrate").
