The DooWop Project draws inspiration from inner city African American vocal groups including The Del Vikings, The Marcels, The Tymes, and later The Four Seasons. The group captures the classic sounds of vocalists who harmonized on stoops, in subways, and on street corners.<\/p>\n
The evening will also feature Bobby Wilson, son of Jackie Wilson, along with The Coasters, Vito Picone & The Elegants, The Chiclettes, and Sounds of the Streets. Staten Island native Vinnie Medugno will host the show. Medugno hosts a nationally syndicated radio program on Music Radio 77 WABC every Saturday at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
The Coda Band will provide musical backing for the performers. The group consists of professional musicians with up to 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry. The band has previously worked with Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, Darlene Love, The Drifters, Lou Christie, Lesley Gore, and The Delfonics.<\/p>\n
The annual holiday concert is part of the Malt Shop LIVE Series, which connects to Star Vista\u2019s Malt Shop Memories Cruise.<\/p>\n
