Veteran 1960's Lehigh Valley garage band, The Limits, reunites 7 p.m. Oct. 20, Gertrude B. Fox Environmental Center [formerly Illick's Mill], Bethlehem, as part of a double bill that includes The Old School Band, fronted by Steve Molchany and original members of his 60's area group, the Dooley Invention.

"Steve Molchany called me a few months ago and told me he had had a very successful event at Illick's Mill," says Levy, lead singer and guitarist for the Limits. "He said, 'Let's do a show together.'"

This year marks Levy's 50th year playing music professionally.

"I started pre-Limits in a folk duo with my sister," Levy says. "Now we are all kind of redoubling our thoughts, because in a few more years, in 2015, we are going to have a 50th anniversary party for The Limits.

"The 1960's Limits were never the greatest band in the world, but we were a lot of fun. We are all best friends and a true band of brothers."

The Limits were started in 1965 by three brothers: Chris, Rook and the late Beau Jones. The first incarnation of the Limits performed in the Valley 1965 - '68.

"The Lehigh Valley had one of the best music scenes in the United States," says Levy. "There were so many under-21 nightclubs in the Valley. There was the Mad Hatter, The Purple Owl, The Mod Mill, the original Illick's Mill [now Fox Environmental Center], King Arthur's Court and the Third Eye."

Levy and Beau Jones continued to perform together in Philadelphia. They formed a band called Wax. After Levy and Jones left Wax, it eventually became The Hooters.

In the latter part of the 1970's, "Beau and myself hooked up with Hub Willson, who is very well-known in the Lehigh Valley as a photographer," says Levy. "Hub was the drummer in another great local 60's group, The Shillings."

Levy, Jones, Willson and Pete Smoyer resurrected the Limits, starting their own label, Luxury Records. "From 1978 - 1988, we released three or four albums, a bunch of singles, and videos that actually got aired on MTV," says Levy.
