Twirl down memory lane with this phenomenal group!
Jay and the Americans were a popular pop music group in the 1960s. With hits songs like Come A Little Bit Closer; Cara Mia; This Magic Moment; Some Enchanted Evening and many more... they will have you bouncing out of your seats with their toe-tapping tunes!
Very few bands have ever reached the musical heights of JAY AND THE AMERICANS. From 1962—1971, this group charted an unprecedented “12” top 10 records. With three original band members, Sandy Yaguda (aka Deane) founding member, Howie Kirschenbaum (aka Kane) original member, and Marty Kupersmith (aka Sanders), original member, plus the addition of “Jay” Reincke, the third Jay and probably the best yet, they have recreated the authentic sound of all of their memorable great hits.
In the late 1950s they auditioned for Leiber and Stoller, who gave the group its name. In the manner of the time, Leiber and Stoller wanted to extend this to “Binky Jones and the Americans”, but Traynor declined to be known as Binky Jones his whole career. He instead offered up “Jay”, a family nickname, and Jay and the Americans were born.
Join the lucky audience February 23, 2012 for this exhilarating performance of these great rock and roll classics!
