The Platters, The Classic Drifters & The Coasters

The Platters
In 1952-53, bass singer Herb Reed founded and named The Platters, later becoming the first black group to be overwhelmingly accepted on the world stage and the first to reach international superstardom (www.theplatters.com). He was the only vocalist who appeared on all 400+ recordings of the group from its start until his death in June 2012, appointing him as the only group member to perform with The Platters continuously until he died in 2012.

Seventy years after the group’s founding, The Platters continue Mr. Reed’s legacy under the auspices of his hand-picked successor, Frederick J. Balboni Jr., despite a tumultuous history spanning decades of racism and unscrupulous identity thieves in the United States and abroad who have tried to steal its distinctiveness and make it their own.

The Coasters
The legendary Coasters have the distinction of becoming the first vocal group to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987, namely Carl Gardner, Billy Guy,Cornell Gunter, and Will (Dub) Jones. Even though all of the original members have passed away, the magic of The Coasters remains stronger than ever.

The Classic Drifters
It’s a nostalgic evening saluting one of the world’s most beloved musical groups, The Drifters.

The Classic Drifters authentically recreates the original sound of legendary hits like “Save the Last Dance For Me,” and “Up on the Roof,” plus the timeless “Under the Boardwalk.”

Several members of the group performed around the world with original Drifters’ members Bill Pickney, Charlie Thomas and Ben E. King.

Spend an evening listening to the music of the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Join The Classic Drifters in concert.

Colt Ford’s bringing all your favorite country-rap hits to the stage at Foxwoods Resort Casino!

Trailblazers veer off the beaten path and break every rule along the way. Colt Ford consistently blazes his own trail. By doing so, the Georgia singer, songwriter, rapper, musician, performer, and co-founder and co-owner of Average Joes Entertainment keeps up pace as country’s preeminent independent maverick. By 2019, Colt built a series of staggering successes as he rose to mainstream notoriety. He notched five consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart with Declaration of Independence bowing at #1 in 2012. Two years later, Thanks for Listening ascended to the Top 10 of the Top 200, with the album reaching #1 on Billboard Rap & Independent charts. Meanwhile, he lobbed six songs onto the Hot Country Songs Chart with “Back” [feat. Jake Owen] going Top 40. Among many accolades, Ford received a nomination in the category of “Vocal Event of the Year” at the Academy of Country Music Awards for “Cold Beer” with Jamey Johnson. Selling over 3 million albums, attracting millions of followers on social media and hitting1 billion-plus streams, the country rap pioneer’s dynamic discography spans collaborations with everyone from Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, and Jermaine Dupri to members of No Doubt, Lit, and Lady Antebellum. Additionally, he co-wrote Jason Aldean’s #1 hit “Dirt Road Anthem” and Brantley Gilbert’s #1 hit “Country Must Be Country Wide” as a behind-the-scenes force in the studio. Moreover, Ford’s solo tradition of genre-blurring continued on Love Hope Faith in 2017 by way of cuts such as “Reload” [feat. Taylor Ray Holbrook]. Ford’s latest project, Must Be The Country, which emerged amidst his courageous battle against eye cancer, showcases his deep vocal range and impeccable delivery. Following a rigorous surgery to eliminate the tumor, Ford's resilience shone through as he confronted another obstacle: a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disorder impacting facial muscles and neural connections. Undeterred by his personal health challenges, Ford has remained an inspiration, continuing to play over 120 shows per year and crafting new projects that are slated for release later this year. His unwavering human spirit permeates his music, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to his artistry.
