KEOKUK IA -- Keokuk's getting a blast from the past this weekend. The Beatles tribute band "Liverpool Legends" will grace the Grand Theatre stage Saturday night. The group was named Best Band of 2006 by Branson Critic Magazine.
Concert organizer Natalie Porter says the concert is drawing lots of attention to Keokuk and a special cause.
"It's all for colon cancer awareness. March is colorectal awareness month and we're trying to education people and bring awareness to this horrible disease," Porter said.
Tickets are still available for the show. They're $15 in advance at Keaslings Drug and Hy-Vee in Keokuk, or $20 at the door.
