Spend a nostalgic evening with three of the world’s most beloved musical groups, instrumental in creating the Rock & Roll Doo-Wop sound. 

Multiplatinum, Rock & Roll Vocal Group and GRAMMY Hall of Fame members, The Platters, are considered the most romantic of all the early rock and roll groups with classic hits such as “Only You,” “The Great Pretender,” “My Prayer,” “Twilight Time,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” and “Harbor Lights.”  Their many hits established The Platters as the classiest of all of the early rock and roll groups, and their evolution continues to this day.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the formation of the Original Cornell Gunter’s Coasters.  Their revival of hits from the 50s lives on with the iconic doo-wop sounds of the 1950s and 1960s.  Classics like “Poison Ivy,” “Yakety Yak,” “Love Potion Number Nine,” “Searchin’,” “Young Blood,” and “Charlie Brown” are sure to please all audiences. 

The Drifters, named by Rolling Stone as one of the “Top 500 Greatest Rock and Roll Performers,” were also the first group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  With hits such as “Save the Last Dance for Me,” “Up on the Roof,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “and the timeless “Stand By Me,” the iconic classic American musicians are a great reminder that love songs transcend all ages.  The beautiful hit “There Goes My Baby” enchants, but their classic “Under the Boardwalk” is one of the most played R& B disc of all time.
