OAK RIDGE BOYS COME TO THE FORUM

The Oak Ridge Boys have been making music together for over 40 years. The fearsome foursome consists of Duane Allen, Richard Sterben, Jon Bonsall and William Lee Golden. They rose to fame in the late 1970s, with their one-of-a-kind mix of pop, gospel, and country music. They’ve played for five presidents, and George H.W. Bush considers them personal friends; when the former president fell ill in 2012 and was hospitalized,the Oaks came to his room to personally serenaded him and offer their best wishes. The camaraderie between the group is tangible watching the Oaks sing together, and you can tell that the love affair between their voices hasn’t burnt out. Sterben’s deep bass pulses and throbs, sending the audience swooning, especially during their hit song “Elvira.” The vocalists are backed by a fantastic band; if you are a country fan, then you’ll want to buy your tickets fast.

The concert is on May 13th, and the Forum is located at 236 Washington St. in Binghamton. The show starts at 7:30pm; tickets are $38-48, and are available at broomearenaforum.com.
