HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – One of the world’s most influential vocal groups is coming to The Commons of Evergreen for two shows.
The Four Freshman started as college students in 1948, the young group won fame with their renditions of “Graduation Day,” “Poinciana,” “Day by Day” and “It’s a Blue World.” Stan Kenton played a major role in advancing the early career of The Four Freshmen, and their unique sound strongly influenced other vocal groups, such as Manhattan Transfer, Take 6 and the Beach Boys.
Today’s Four Freshmen ensemble is considered by many to be the greatest jazz vocal group of all time. The current quartet consists of highly educated, musically diverse young men who provide their own accompaniment. They not only preserve the Freshmen sound, they enhance it with their youth, vitality and talent, giving new treatments to the Great American Songbook.
The Four Freshmen style has been responsible for over 50 albums, 70 top selling singles and six Grammy nominations.
There will be two shows at The Commons on April 14, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $29 for general admission and $50 for reserved seating. They may be purchased At The Commons of Evergreen, 480 State Street in Holland or online http://bit.ly/1UXYGvt.
Proceeds from the event will benefit The Commons Enrichment and Fitness programs, The Day Center of Evergreen, In-Home Care, and Home-Delivered Meals.
