An Evening with RETRO RADIO is a magical time-traveling event that enables its audience to experience some of the greatest vocal harmony groups of the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, ‘70’s, and beyond! Retro Radio covers several decades of the most vital and influential vocal harmony groups of all time. Highlights include an opening of Doo-Wop songs from the later 1950’s, leading in to songs by The Mamas & The Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, The Association, Seals & Crofts, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Little River Band, and more.

From “Sh-Boom,” Come Softly To Me,” and “Lonely Teardrops” to “California Dreaming,” “Monday Monday,” and “Dedicated To The One I Love” ––  from “Diamond Girl,” “Summer Breeze” and “Never My Love” to “The Sound Of Silence, “Reminiscing,” and “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” the vocal harmony that envelops these truly iconic, defining moments in popular song culture will leave each audience member  with “goosebumps on their goosebumps!”

Retro Radio features vocalists Steve Kikoen (Deacon Blues, Abbey Road, Big Suit, Prognosis), Jim Irizarry (American English), Kasey Foster (Big Suit, Babe-alon 5), Kiley Moore (Big Suit, Babe-alon 5), as well as singing drummer extraordinaire Chris “Bean” Weng (The Bad Examples, Abbey Road), multi-keyboardist Jordan Nettgen (Big Suit), and Chicago bass icon Paul Merar.
