If you’ve seen The Doo Wop Project before, you are in for a brand-new treat.
If you haven’t seen them yet, you’ll be treated to a fantastic evening of the greatest music in American pop and rock history…from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today!
