SUMMARY:American Pop
DESCRIPTION:Featuring The Box Tops\, The Buckinghams\, and The Grass Roots\, American Pop brings together three of American’s favorite hit-makers in one Solid Gold show! \nFrom the mid-60s into the 70s\, there was no finer blue-eyed soul group than THE BOX TOPS\, from Memphis\, TN. Formed in 1967\, The BOX TOPS recorded a string of hits including the worldwide #1 megahit song\, “The Letter\,” and six additional TOP 40 hits including “Cry Like A Baby\,” “Soul Deep\,” “Neon Rainbow\,” “Choo Choo Train\,” “Sweet Cream Ladies\, Forward March\,” and “Turn On A Dream.” THE BOX TOPS show highlights their hit records\, and equally importantly\, Memphis music of the 60s\, especially some of the songs that influenced the members as young teens growing up in such a musical hotbed. The show is complete with horns\, and promises musical history that is HIP!  \nThe Buckinghams are one of Chicago’s most successful and enduring pop-rock bands\, best known for their 1967 Billboard No. 1 hit “Kind of a Drag.” Led by original members Carl Giammarese and Nick Fortuna\, the group has continued performing for decades\, delivering energetic concerts filled with classic hits such as “Don’t You Care\,” “Mercy\, Mercy\, Mercy\,” “Hey Baby (They’re Playing Our Song)\,” and “Susan.” With seven national chart hits\, 15 singles\, and eight albums\, The Buckinghams became a staple of American pop culture through appearances on television programs including American Bandstand\, The Ed Sullivan Show\, and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Their signature harmonies and crowd-pleasing performances continue to attract fans across multiple generations.  \nThe Grass Roots are one of America’s most successful and enduring classic rock bands\, formed in 1965 by Rob Grill and fellow musicians alongside renowned producer Steve Barri. Over their remarkable career\, the band has charted 29 singles\, earned 13 Gold singles\, two Gold albums\, and one Platinum album\, while selling more than 20 million records worldwide. Their string of hit songs\, including “Midnight Confessions\,” “Temptation Eyes\,” and “Let’s Live for Today\,” helped make them one of the most recognizable groups in rock history\, with only nine bands—including The Beatles—having more Billboard Hot 100 hits.  \nPURCHASE AMERICAN POP TICKETS \nBUY 4 PAC!
