Extreme Doo Wop
Acappella Concert
Saturday, June 23, 7PM
Classic Urban Harmony LLC brings street corner doo wop acappella to the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, June 23, 2018. Rhythm & Blues and Doo Wop harmony was born on the street corners of urban America in the late 1940’s and 1950’s. Teenage vocal groups seldom had access to musical instruments and there were no music tracks. What they had were nature’s most perfect musical instruments – human voices. Records companies put bands behind the voices to make the music commercial, but Doo Wop music at its purest is still acappella.
