Special Guest of Honor is Apple Recording Artist BRUTE FORCE. The legendary performer will meet fans, sign autographs, pose for photos, and perform his notorious song on stage, “The King of Fuh.” The title and song were wildly amusing to George Harrison and John Lennon. They pressed and distributed 2,000 copies on The Beatles’ label in 1969. Brute Force was born Stephen Friedland and started out as a singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed with The Tokens in the ’60s and wrote songs that were recorded and released by Peggy March, Del Shannon, The Chiffons, The Cyrkle, and others. In 2010, “The King of Fuh” was re-released by Apple Records on their first “best of” compilation album, “Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records.”
