CALIFORNIA DREAMS Band To Reunite For 90s DREAMS FAN FEST And Concert  Image

For five years, from 1992 to 1997, CALIFORNIA DREAMS was one of the most popular teen situation comedies on television.  Part of the NBC Saturday morning lineup, the series created and produced by members of the Saved By The Bell creative team centered around a diverse group of teenagers in a beach town who form a band, the name of which was that of the TV show. With legions of fans tuning in every week and turning up at events around the country to meet the cast, California Dreams became a thread in the tapestry of many young people's lives, people who, while not quite so young anymore, still regard the program and the actors with a great deal of fondness and dedication.

Recently, it was announced that the CALIFORNIA DREAMS band will be reuniting in New York City for a fan fest and a concert.  On October 13th, 2023, every member of the original California Dreams Band will meet for an exclusive fan fest at the Stitch Bar and Blues located in the Times Square area of Manhattan.  California Dreams cast members Michael Cade, Jay Anthony Franke, Brentley Gore, Aaron Jackson, William James Jones, Jennie Kwan, Kelly Packard, Heidi Saban, and Diana Uribe will be together at a public event for the first time ever, since their final day of filming on the show.  Joining the Dreams will be special guest Thomas Ian Nicholas of American Pie and Rookie of the Year fame.
