The Four Freshmen
Tuesday, Jan. 25 • 1:30 p.m.
Singing with a harmony uniquely their own, The Four Freshmen have
enamored listeners world-wide for years, while gaining recognition as one of
the most influentiaL vocal groups of all time. Their tight-knit sound inspired
The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, The Mamas & The Papas, Frankie Valli and the
Manhattan Transfer.
It all started in 1948, when four college freshmen crafted a unique style
of vocalharmony that soon caught the ear of the great band leader Stan Kenton.
Kenton was responsible for bringing the Freshmen to Capitol Records, where they
would eventually record 23 albums, thrusting them into the national spotlight.
While paying tribute to such classic Freshmen favorites as “Day By Day”
and “Blue World,” the current group also continues to bring new arrangements
to their live shows and recordings. In concert The Freshmen shine on brand new
arrangements of “Come Fly with Me” and “I Ain’t Got Nobody." Within their show
you will also hear the body swaying “Summer Samba." One can’t forget the toe
tapping “Route 66."
As four amazing musical talents, their show is one not to be missed!
Whether accompanied by a big band, symphony orchestra or self-contained;
their youth, vitality, and talent adds a modern twist of elegance to a time-honored
sound. The Four Freshmen are Great Gentlemen of Song and True Masters of
Harmony.
