Chris Mann is no stranger to the spotlight. His debut album Roads (Universal/Republic Records) hit #1 on Billboard‘s Heatseekers Chart and appeared on the Billboard Top 200 and iTunes charts. His sophomore release, Constellation, followed suit, also topping the Billboard and iTunes charts.

Mann has starred in his own concert and holiday TV specials for PBS, Chris Mann In Concert: A Mann For All Seasons and Home For Christmas. Riding the wave of success, he toured to sold-out audiences across America, Mexico and Asia.

Mann lit up a global audience with his 2012 post Super Bowl XLVI performance on NBC’s The Voice which was watched by a record-breaking 37.6 million viewers. His chart-topping duet with superstar Christina Aguilera solidified him as one of the most unique voices in the history of the show.

Continuing his meteoric rise, Mann was personally cast by Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber as The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera’s 25th Anniversary Tour. Mann donned the iconic mask for over 700 performances with critics hailing him as “the best Phantom since Michael Crawford.”

After years building his presence on the national stage, he’s back in the studio working on his new album, NOISE. Co-written and co-produced by Mann, the upcoming album takes him back to his pop roots, reminiscent of his early days playing clubs in New York City. It also features a powerful duet with one of Mann’s idols, Grammy-winning artist, India.Arie.

Chris has performed with the National Symphony for President and Mrs. Barack Obama, headlined at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. and at New York City’s famed Christmas in Rockefeller Center Concert. He has also appeared on Ellen, The Today Show, Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with James Cordenand Christmas in Washington. 

But of all of these dream performance opportunities, Mann cherishes one above the rest. Chris was invited to sing to honor his country at the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS. During that unforgettable concert, Chris performed on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol for an audience of over 300,000 and millions of TV viewers to honor American service men and women and their families–an experience he will never soon forget.

The dictionary defines harmony as “a combination of musical sounds considered to be pleasing”. The music world could define harmony as “The Lettermen”. For more than 50 years, The Lettermen– Donovan Tea, Bobby Poynton and Rob Gulack, each of whom are entertainers in their own right—have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft, romantic, harmonic blend of music which is as popular with their fans today as it was in 1961 when they recorded their first hit, “The Way You Look Tonight”.

For The Lettermen debut single record in the summer of 1961, Capitol Records decided to put a romantic ballad on the B-side of “That’s My Desire”, which was an attempt at a doo-wop single, figuring radio stations would have to play the A-side because the B-side was so sweet, and slow, and did not necessarily encompass the commercial sound of the day.

The B-side was “The Way You Look Tonight”. Soft, melodic and romantic, it was a departure from the rock ‘n’ roll music of the day. Eventually listener requests made it a must for radio station play lists nationwide. The song shot to No. 13, on the Billboard chart. The group’s second single that year did even better. “When I Fall In Love,” another soft, slow ballad hit No.7, establishing The Lettermen as the most romantic singing group of a generation.

To their credit, The Lettermen have over 75 albums— numerous certified gold – and a myriad of hits including “When I Fall In Love”, “Come Back Silly Girl”, “Theme From A Summer Place”, “Goin’ Out Of My Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”, “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”, “Hurt So Bad”, and “Shangri-La”.

The Lettermen have also enjoyed international success touring Japan, The Philippines, China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Germany, France, South America, Canada, Mexico and even Saudi Arabia. They have sung and recorded in many different languages and have received eighteen gold records internationally.

Even though there have been personnel changes over the years, the one thing that has remained constant is the vision that Tony Butala first dreamed of – that unique three-part harmony as only The Lettermen can achieve. Though musical tastes have changed over the years, The Lettermen legacy continues. Harmony will always endure the true test of time– just as The Lettermen have stood the test of time.

The inimitable songstress of such hits as “Never Can Say Good-Bye,” “Last Night” and the smash hit “I Will Survive,” Gloria sings with the passion and soul characteristic of her repertoire.

The Shirelles were the first all-girl group of the rock ‘n’ roll era to score a Number One record. Beginning in 1958 as schoolgirls in Passaic, New Jersey, The Shirelles quickly became rock ‘n’ roll’s first female supergroup and were the inspirations for a legion of female groups that followed.

Universally credited as the originators of the “Girl Group Sound” that is so beloved by the Baby Boomer Generation, their long string of hits includes “Soldier Boy,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “Dedicated To The One I Love,” “Mama Said” and so many others, which have been recorded by hundreds of artists, including The Beatles, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton & The Yardbirds, The Mamas & the Papas, Bernadette Peters and Smokey Robinson.

Few performers can truly be called trendsetters, fewer still can sustain a high-visibility presence in the pop culture consciousness for over 40 years. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members The Shirelles have done these things…and more. They have earned their exalted place in modern musical history.

The Mystics began in Brooklyn, N.Y. in the late ‘50s singing the “Doo Wop” songs that were popular back then. Originally known as The Overons, they signed with Laurie Records and recorded their major hit “Hushabye.” In addition to their own hit records, they provided vocal back-up for several other artists, including Connie Francis on her 1959 release “Tommy.” They appeared on several TV shows in the ‘50s and ‘60s including the Clay Cole Show, Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, Alan Freed’s Big Beat Show and Jim Gallant’s Bandstand.

Although they broke up for a time, the growing nostalgia boom of the early ‘70s resulted in new demands for their performances. An appearance in an episode devoted to Doo Wop music on the PBS series “Soundstage” allowed them to reach a new audience and left an impression among doo wop enthusiasts that lingers still and led to the strength of their comeback.

Betty Buckley is one of only a handful of women who can be referred to as a real Broadway star and a true legend. She won the coveted Tony Award for her portrayal of Grizabella in the Original Broadway Cast of CATS and has appeared in many other shows, including SUNSET BOULEVARD, 1776, PIPPIN, SONG AND DANCE and THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.

With a series of highly successful international hits including ‘Ladies Night’, ‘Too Hot’, ‘Get Down On It’ and the #1 platinum smash ‘Celebration’ to their credit, Kool and the Gang are one of the most successful groups of that era. And they’re still bringing people to their feet and onto the dance floor!

“The Four Freshmen” have become known all over the world for their unique style of “Freshmen Harmony”. Though they’ve been imitated by many, none can match their one-of-a-kind sound made famous in such hits as “Angel Eyes”, “It’s A Blue World”, and “Graduation Day”.

It is safe to say that no vocal group of their era has permeated popular culture as Terry Johnson’s Flamingos have. The group sings all their original classics…”I Only Have Eyes For You”, “Lovers Never Say Goodbye”, “Love Walked In”, “Mio Amore” and more. These versatile entertainers offer high-energy, Vegas-style shows for corporate events, cruise lines, casinos, supper clubs, concert halls and major arenas.
