Billed as the 'Icons' tour, the current recording line up of The Drifters will perform the group’s greatest hits and new material featured on the new album, paying special homage to some of the most prestigious former recording artists of this group including icons Clyde McPhatter, Rudy Lewis, Ben E King, Bill Frederikse & Johnny Moore.
The high-energy concert highlights the numerous musical reincarnations of this group from early Doo Wop classics such as ‘Fools Fall In Love’ and ‘Let The Boogie Woogie Roll’ to much loved early pop/rock ‘n roll hits such as ‘Sand in My Shoes, ‘More Than A Number,’ ‘Come on Over to My Place’, ‘Up On The Roof,’ ‘Under the Boardwalk’, ‘Kissin In The Back Row’ and ‘Save The Last Dance For Me.’
The show also features tracks from the disco era as well as latest releases such as ‘Do You Dream Of Me’ again on the new album, following the more recent reinvention of the group - contemporary new material that has evolved out of the group’s diverse historical musical genres and that is enhanced by the authentic Drifters signature harmonies and sound.
Current Drifters line up member Michael Williams says: "We have just finished a gruelling week of physical training and rehearsals for the forthcoming Icons Tour and we are very excited about going back on the road - expect a show packed with songs recorded by some of the greatest members of this line up - we also have some surprises in store - expect a great show!"
The new 70 date tour starts in the UK at the Liverpool Empire on February 6th. More dates are being added all the time. (On sale dates vary).
