THE TEMPTATIONS - (past event)

What needs to be said about one of the most iconic bands in the history of American music? Since their inception in 1961, the Temptations have since become an institution noted for their precise choreography and blend of R&B vocal sensibilities. A continuous lineup of five highly talented male singers working together as a vocal powerhouse has propelled the Temptations throughout their 45-year history. With a live show that continues to “wow” audiences around the world, the Temptations constantly enlist new fans as they continue to deliver their Motown vocal sound that made them famous.

OPENING ACT:

 

CADILLAC MARTINI

 

Cadillac Martini is a shaker full of genres served straight up, ranging from standards to some of today’s top hits - but all of the songs they perform have an eccentric flavor. Keturah Burgess writes all the originals and has received much acclaim in local press for her accomplishments. Frank Berg is the lead singer of the IGNITORS, an 8-piece R&B band that is currently celebrating its 20th year in the biz. Rick Nelson keeps the melody cranking on acoustic guitar and hosts the best open mic in the area. Joe Mirra is on drums, and has played with many of the top bands in Rhode Island for over 30 years. They met at an open jam and have been performing for a year as Cadillac Martini. Their sound is truly acoustic soul.
