Love Tribe takes to the stage at 7 p.m. June 11 as part of the 28th-annual Summer Festival entertainment lineup.

Anyone familiar with the Raleigh music scene during the past several years likely will recognize at least some of Love Tribe’s five musicians – Brant Satterwhite, lead vocals; Thomas Dice, drums and percussion; Jeremy Bellion, bass and harmony vocals; Jay “SnakkDaddy” Rusnak, lead guitar and harmony vocals; and Emil LaCivita, keyboards and harmony vocals.

“Love Tribe is a virtual ‘who’s who’ of the Raleigh music scene, made up of former members of some of the most popular regional cover bands around, including: Mighty McFly, 80’z Enuff, The Switch, Effigy and Avalanche,” reads the band’s website. “With thousands of shows among members spreading out over the East Coast, as well as over the country, Love Tribe is true professionals who have honed their craft and bring a big show to the stage every night.”

LaCivita, during an interview with the Washington Daily News, said the band has been together about 17 months.

“We are from Raleigh. Several of us had been playing in other projects. Several of us decided we wanted to create an all-star, best-of-the-best band with musicians here in the area,” LaCivita said. “Some of us knew each other. … We auditioned for other members. … All of us were interconnected in different ways.”

“We wanted to create a regional powerhouse,” he said.

Asked to describe the band in three words, LaCivita said, “That’s easy. It’s in our tagline: party, rock, love. We’re about having fun together.”

Love Tribe is all about energetic performances, he said.

“We really move around a lot. It’s all by design,” LaCivita said.

LaCivita said he’s never been to Washington, and he’s not sure if any of the other Love Tribe musicians have been to Washington. Told that Washington is a waterfront community and that Love Tribe will be playing near the Pamlico River, LaCivita said, “We’ve performed at Wilmington’s waterfront. We like playing at venues like that.”

From AC-DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long” to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is” to Pink’s “Get the Party Started,” Love Tribe’s song list runs the gamut among musical genres.

Love Tribe will perform on the Summer Festival’s main stage, located in the parking lot behind Washington Jewelers.
