Under The Street Lamp

Wyly Theatre Proscenium
With the mantra “Retro never sounded so now,” the dreamy voices of this pop quartet bring the repertoire of The American Radio Songbook of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s to a whole new audience. While Under The Streetlamp specializes in doo-wop-derived hits, along with old-time rock ‘n’ roll, Motown-era soul classics and exquisite harmonies, their expansive playlist makes room for ‘80s artists like Billy Joel, Bob Seger and Huey Lewis as well.
Behind the boys is a masterful seven-piece band featuring musicians who played with the originators like Sinatra and Valli. Each of the performers is a lead singer and star in his own right, and the joy in their shared musicmaking is contagious. Their fresh new interpretations prove that this great music—born under the summer streetlamps of Eastern urban centers—is truly timeless. Tickets from $39.50!
