1/7/14: Four Freshmen Show at the Stoneham Theatre

My cousin is in The Four Freshmen Jazz group which is a vocal harmony group.  He has been all over the world in his 20 years with the group.  Luckily for us he comes to MA sometimes so we get to see him as he grew up in Bothell, WA and now lives in Las Vegas.  This past weekend they came to the Stoneham Theatre in Stoneham, MA.  Even better he finally got to see my two kids for a second time.
Bob sings (and has a wonderful voice) and plays the drums.  You can check out their tour dates here.  Here is a sampling of the songs they sing.  The Four Freshmen began in 1948 and have kept going all these years.  Now Brian Eichenberger does a lot of their arrangements.
Credit to the Four Freshmen website for the above picture, there were no pictures allowed during the performance.  It is so great to see Bob and see how talented he is as a singer and a drummer.  The kids even enjoyed the show.  As I said Bob has been with the group for a long time.  Look at how different he looked in this picture.  Photo taken from the Four Freshmen Society Web Page.
Bob the show was wonderful.  Great job to all of the guys!

1/8/12: The Four Freshmen Come to Town

As I mentioned in my earlier post The Four Freshmen Jazz group is a vocal harmony group that my cousin Bob is in.  He has been all over the world in his 20 years with the group, but it is always exciting when he comes to town as he lives in Vegas.  Today they came to the Stoneham Theatre in Stoneham, MA and we got to see him.  Even better he finally got to meet my two kids.
Here he is with Evan and Lauren.  Bob sings and plays the drums.  You can check out their tour dates hereThe Four Freshmen began in 1948 and have kept going all these years.  Now Brian Eichenberger does a lot of their arrangements and they have a new CD coming out shortly.
It is so great to see him, even if it is just for a bit every year or so.  Evan especially liked when they sang Route 66 as that is from his favorite movie Cars.  Lauren also leaned over to me during that song to whisper Lightening McQueen.
Bob the show was wonderful.  Great job to all of the guys!  They were well deserving of the standing ovation they received.

12/21/11: Four Freshmen Show Coming to Stoneham MA

The Four Freshmen Jazz group is a vocal harmony group that my cousin Bob is in.  They perform many shows all over the country and I am excited that they are coming to Stoneham Theatre in Stoneham, MA on January 8th at 2 pm.  You can buy tickets here.
This is my cousin Bob.  He sings and plays the drums.
It is always great to see him when he comes to perform as he grew up in Bothell Washington far from our family so I didn't see him much growing up.  I do remember his sister Susan teaching me how to do a cartwheel when they visited when I was young.
 
I thought I would share this with my readers as you may be looking for some last minute gifts for hard to buy for people.  You can check out their tour dates here.
The Four Freshman began in 1948 with Bob, Don, Ross and Hal continues on in the 21st century.  The current group of Brian, Curtis, Vince and Bob have been performing together since 2001. Here is more detail on their history.
