What You'll Get
Live music unites people from all walks of life, unlike silence, which only unites librarians and people who crack safes. Bond over shared sound waves with today’s deal: for $25, you get two general-admission tickets to see “Motown Memories,” starring The Marcels and The Shades of Blue, at the Riviera Theatre on Saturday, September 24, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open as 6:30 p.m.
For one very special evening, “Motown Memories” escorts music fans to simpler times, as two of the most enduring vocal acts in pop history fill the air with swooning doo-wop and expert harmonies. The Marcels, inductees in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, have thrived for decades as human singing telegrams with lung-parcels of good news. In spirited live performances, the group unleashes a string of hits, including its popular take on “Blue Moon,” which turns a lunar-shaming dirge into a sunshiny sing-along, filled with catchy “bomp-a-bomps” that make werewolves crave chocolate malts. Fellow crooning cabal The Shades of Blue keeps Motown memories intact with walls of bulletproof doo-wop, sharp choreography, and a winning sound referred to as blue-eyed soul. Best known for its handclap-laden hit “Oh How Happy,” The Shades of Blue generously shares its joy of singing in a set that celebrates life, romance, and music without the need for racy pyrotechnics or electronic swear jars.
