SUMMARY:America's Sweethearts
DESCRIPTION:America has loved the swinging sounds of female close-harmony groups even before The Andrews Sisters hit the airwaves with “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” in 1937\, but audiences will hear those great vintage songs with fresh ears when AMERICA’S SWEETHEARTS take the stage in their fresh and vibrant show! These New York City-based ladies have performed across the USA at iconic spaces honoring our veterans (the Intrepid Air and Space Museum\, the WASP Museum) as well as large theatres and intimate cabaret venues\, getting crowds tapping their feet to hits like “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” as they celebrate history through their crystal-clear harmony and colorful costumes. With selections from the Great American Songbook\, classic Broadway\, pop tunes from the 1950s\, and jazz\, AMERICA’S SWEETHEARTS charm audiences of all ages while navigating their way through a variety of trios\, duets\, and solo features… all with a slice of old-fashioned fun!
