Keeping families tuned into classic country music.

That’s exactly what The Rehrig Brothers have done for five decades, and they show no signs of slowing down.

Come out and see the experience firsthand when The Rehrig Brothers perform from 4:30-6 p.m. Sunday on the main stage at this year’s Palmerton Community Festival.

The band consists of twin brothers Dave Rehrig (lead vocals) and Dennis Rehrig (steel guitar), along with brother Dean Rehrig (keyboard).

Dave said classic country music has been the band’s foundation.

“It started when we first learned instruments; we were playing these songs for 50 years; back then it was country music, right now it’s classic country,” Dave said. “The songs grew with us; as we got older, the songs got older.”

Rehrig said classic country remains popular with the band’s fans.

“The people still want to hear the classic country,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with today’s country music, but in our books, it isn’t classic; give it another name.”

Dave said the band plays classic country songs by artists such as Alan Jackson, George Strait, Randy Travis, and also does a segment of Conway Twitty hits.

He said some of its most requested songs are “Hello Darlin’,” “Never Been This Far Before,” and “It’s Only Make Believe,” adding they also get a lot of requests for Alan Jackson and George Strait.

“The Rehrig Family” formed a band in 1963 with their father, Frank “Pop” Rehrig.

After “Pop” Rehrig retired from the band, the three sons changed the band name to “Twitty Fever.”

Dave took a break from the band in 1989 and Dean and Dennis formed “The Midnight Special Band.” In 1995, “The Twitty Fever Band” re-formed. Dennis performs with “The Midnight Special Band.”

The brothers decided to get together again as “The Rehrig Brothers” to perform in between their other two bands. Dave also does shows with his wife, Brenda.

Dave said the venue inside the borough park is among The Rehrig Brothers’ favorites to perform at.

“We like that the people show up and they focus on what you’re singing for them,” he said. “They’re really tuned in; the festival lets you perform as you see fit for that crowd.”

But, that isn’t all, according to Dave.

“And the food is excellent,” he said.
