Providence, R.I. - They got their start playing frat parties at Brown University and doing gigs at school dances and church gatherings in Newport. They covered Beatles songs on Bannister's Wharf , which was fitting enough. They hoped to be the next Fab Four: Bill, Bob, Barry and John.
Surviving members of the group that enjoyed a meteoric rise in the 1960s the Cowsills would serve as the inspiration for the TV show "The Partridge Family" are scheduled to perform Wednesday evening in Providence. It's a rare on-stage reunion in the state where they saw their beginnings.
The performance will follow the premiere of a new documentary about the band's rise and fall. "Family Band: The Cowsills Story," at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
