Oak Ridge Boys/older men
One of country music’s most dynamic and enduring acts, The Oak Ridge Boys bring their upbeat, family-friendly Christmas Show as part of the Eisemann Center’s Spotlight Series on Monday, December 17th at 8:00 PM and Tuesday, December 18th at 8:00 PM in the Hill Performance Hall. Talent, teamwork and an unerring sense of what it takes to please an audience—these qualities have been the cornerstones of The Oak Ridge Boys’ stellar career. For more than four decades, the famed quartet has helped define popular music with pioneering contributions to both the Gospel and Country fields. The Fayetteville Observer says “The Oak Ridge Boys will flat knock you out of your seat.”
The act began in the 1940s as the Oak Ridge Quartet, a gospel ensemble within a country group, the Georgia Clodhoppers. After nearly 20 years and numerous personnel changes, they changed their name to the Oak Ridge Boys in 1962. William Lee Golden joined the group in 1965; native Texan Duane Allen in 1966; Richard Sterban in 1972 and Joe Bonsall in 1973. By 1973, they had won a dozen Dove Awards as well as a Grammy. Seeking to broaden their audience, The Oak Ridge Boys made the switch from Gospel to Country music in the mid-70s with the release of such hits as “Ya’ll Come Back Saloon” and “Elvira,” making them superstars and a favorite of music fans of all ages. Their most recent recording was released in April 2007 and is a greatest hits compilation titled simply “Gold.”
