Donna Appears at “Rock Con Fest†July 30-Aug 1, 2010
60’s POP ICON DONNA LOREN
TO APPEAR AT EAST COAST “ROCK CON FEST” July 30-August 1, 2010
Donna Loren, the 60’s Dr Pepper Girl, will be performing and signing autographs at the Rock Con Festival (www.NationalRockCon.com) at the Meadowlands Sheraton and Conference Center in New Jersey. The 3-day fan fest (July 30th- Aug 1st, 2010) is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most anticipated star-studded musical events.
A multi-dimensional star, excelling at the 3M’s of Hollywood-music, movies, and modeling-Donna Loren’s name is synonymous with the Swinging 60’s era of music, motion pictures, television & fashion. At age 16 she was selected to be the first and only “Dr Pepper Girl.” For five years, she successfully promoted the soft-drink on radio, TV, billboards, magazines and personal appearances. This break catapulted her to bigger screens, namely prominent singing/acting roles in the popular Beach Party movies alongside Frankie & Annette. She also had featured roles on iconic TV shows like Batman, The Monkees, Red Skelton, The Milton Berle Show, Gomer Pyle and Dr. Kildare. She was the featured female vocalist on ABC’s Shindig! By the end of the 60s, Donna had released 20 singles & the LP soundtrack from Beach Blanket Bingo. Then, at the height of her career, she retired from show business to devote her energies to raising a family. In 2009, she re-emerged into the world of music with a new CD of previously unreleased tracks she recorded in the 80’s with James Burton & the Elvis Band entitled MAGIC-The 80s Collection. Then, she updated her signature It Only Hurts When I Cry from Beach Blanket Bingo which can be seen on YouTube. And now, she’s released her first all-new CD in decades entitled Love It Away, a tasty collection of original compositions and classic rock standards.
At Rock Con, Ms Loren will be performing selections from Love It Away as well as songs from the 60’s Beach Party films. During the entire 3-day event, she will be visiting with fans and autographing CD’s and photos.

“Love It Away” is “Pick of the Week” @ MuzikReviews.com
“I think one of the reasons for the success of this recording besides Donna’s flat out stunning vocal performance, is the production is kept to a minimum and the instrumentation generally focuses on the keyboards highlighting the sweet sensual vocals of Ms. Loren.” -Review by Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck at MuzikReviews.com
