SEEKING

ABOUT

We are a male A Cappella quartet who specialize in the music from the 50's and 60's. We do a lot of the doo wop classics of the mid-late 50's, some of the early 60's rock and roll tunes, a little bit of classic country (Statler Brothers, Johnny Cash, etc.), and some southern gospel and traditional Christian Hymns, all done completely A Cappella. We are based out of Southern Illinois, though we have toured all over the Midwest region of the US: from Florida up to Minnesota and as far west as Nebraska. We are always looking for new places to travel to and bring back music from radio's golden age.

Our 2-hour, family fun show is called "Forever Doo Wop: a Tribute to the 50's and 60's." It is a G-rated show, entertaining for the entire family.
