DELIVERY Ballroom<br />
A<br />
classic harmony never goes out of<br />
style.<br />
The Lettermen have proved that<br />
truth with more than five decades in the music<br />
industry, from their first hit single “The<br />
Way You Look Tonight” in 1961, to the tours<br />
that have taken them around the globe, the<br />
group has certainly stood the test of time.<br />
And this weekend they circle back to the<br />
Iowa Great Lakes for another performance at<br />
the Roof Garden Ballroom in Arnolds Park.<br />
The show is set for 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July<br />
14, with general admission tickets priced at<br />
$29 in advance or $34 at the door.<br />
“This concert goes with our whole ‘Boomer<br />
and Crooner’ series — we’ve had Sinatra<br />
and Neil Diamond tributes already and<br />
both had great receptions,” said Chris Swanson,<br />
marketing director for Historic Arnolds<br />
Park, Inc. “So we know there’s always a place<br />
for good old American classic music from<br />
the ’50s and ’60s. These guys have been here<br />
before and love playing the Roof Garden.”<br />
And the audience loves hearing them perform.<br />
While “The Way You Look Tonight” is a<br />
song almost everyone has probably heard at<br />
least once in their lifetime, their second single<br />
“When I Fall In Love” actually did even<br />
better, topping out at No. 7 on the chart.<br />
Over the ensuing years, The Lettermen<br />
have recorded 75 albums, several certified<br />
gold, and numerous hits including “Theme<br />
From A Summer Place,” “Goin’ Out Of My<br />
Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” “Put<br />
Your Head On My Shoulder,” “Hurt So<br />
Bad,” and “Shangri-La.”<br />
“They’re one of those harmonious bands<br />
with several big hits over their time in the<br />
music and are well known throughout the<br />
world actually, which is a testament to their<br />
talents for sure,” Swanson said. “It’s nice to<br />
see them out touring still and we’re happy to<br />
have them back in the Iowa Great Lakes.”<br />
Stop by and enjoy the show. F<br />
