The Wanderers
The Wanderers
The 1950s: bobby socks, hula hoops and street corner quartets. From an innocent era came stunning harmonies by young guys in matching jackets. These crooners started on the street, jumped to the hops and serenaded a generation through the 50s and 60s on boardwalks and rooftops.
From the Four Seasons to the Beatles with songs like "The Great Pretender," "Under the Boardwalk," and "When I'm 64." Join four guys from the neighborhood for a celebration of the music that defined what it meant to be young.
Nostalgic and contemporary
