About the Avalons

The Avalons (formerly Sh-Boom) had its birth in 1987 when two fellow broadcasters at an oldies station had a conversation about a show they had promoted the night before.  They compared notes about the bands, plays, and stage shows they had been involved in through the years and decided they could produce a great show. And 50’s and 60’s Rock ‘n’ Roll was one of their passions.  They met a local musician who produced custom show tracks for singers and theatre groups.  The track music could create the sound of the original artists and provide the full orchestral sound associated with many of the hits of the 50’s and 60’s with a quality far superior to the usual karaoke or performance tracks.   They decided that they wanted to be a show with all the entertainment elements…costumes, choreography, audience participation and wacky humor, instead of just another band that played oldies. Two additional members were added to help recreate all the great sounds of the great oldies artists.  A wacky comedy style evolved along with the music…and their great 4 part harmonies were complemented with one zany bit after another.
