Chubby Checker
and The Wildcats

Come twist the night away! Join us for a benefit for the Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Centers featuring Chubby Checker & The Wildcats. The legendary icon is the only artist to have 5 albums in the Top 12 all at once and a song to be #1 twice, “The Twist.” The groundbreaking song also introduced the unique concept of “dancing apart to the beat.”

His success continued for years with the release of one dance record after another, with “The Fly” and “Let’s Twist Again,” for which he won a GRAMMY® for the “Best Rock Performance.” Over the next few years, endless songs incorporating “The Twist” into its name sprang up, such as “Peppermint Twist,” “Twist and Shout,” and “Twistin’ the Night Away.” In addition, each new song inspired a new dance involving dancing apart, such as “The Jerk,” “The Hully Gully,” “The Boogaloo,” and “The Shake.” At the forefront was Chubby with “The Fly,” “The Pony,” and “The Hucklebuck.” Thereafter, even more hit records followed.

The Santa Barbara Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Center was founded in 2001 to provide safe and effective outpatient treatment and other services for Santa Barbara County youth struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Since that time, two additional Centers have been opened to serve clients in the North County. Today, Centers in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Lompoc provide a wide range of services to youth (ages 10-21) and their families.
