The Traditions

We are an oldies and doo-wop entertainment group. While our core audience has traditionally been older adults, we’ve noticed a wonderful trend: younger generations are discovering and falling in love with the music of the 1950s and 60s, too. When you book us for a mixed-generation crowd, we create an unforgettable, nostalgic experience that older guests will cherish, while introducing timeless classics to the younger listeners. If you are planning an event for a diverse group, give a special nod to the parents, grandparents, and mentors in your life by treating them to the golden era of early rock and roll.

The Traditions: Legendary Vocal Harmony for Your Next Event
Formed in 1983, The Traditions have spent over four decades entertaining thousands of vocal group harmony enthusiasts. They have graced the stages of the tri-state area’s most iconic venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Plaza Hotel, the Copacabana, Westbury Music Fair, and the Nassau Coliseum. A staple in the media, the group has featured on major programs like WCBS-FM’s Doo-Wop Shop and News 12 Long Island.
The "Trads" have shared the stage with virtually every Rock 'n' Roll and Rhythm & Blues legend imaginable—from The Platters, The Drifters, and The 5 Satins, to Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge and Lou Christie. With four recorded albums under their belt, their latest release, stands as a tribute to the magnificent vocal groups of yesterday and today.
