tHE GREAT AMERICAN TOUR
starring Jay & The Americans
with special guests: Brian Hyland and jay siegel’s tokens
Baby Boomers continue to prove that their passion for music is limitless. If your venue has a Baby Boomer audience that craves the “oldies but goodies” from the 1960s and 70s, book The Great American Tour featuring iconic artists who were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and who are also among the lasting success stories in Rock ‘n Roll history. These artists have fanbases that have broadened dramatically across generations thanks to their hits’ continued prominence in modern-day movies, TV shows, Broadway productions, and commercials.
Headlining this legendary package are Jay and the Americans, one of the few artists of the era that still boasts two original members. This Vocal Group Hall of Fame powerhouse had a staggering 19 charted hits, 9 Top 40 records, and today has over 900,000 monthly Spotify streams. Their biggest hit, “Come a Little Bit Closer,” was featured in Guardians of the Galaxy and boasts over 190,000,000 streams on Spotify, while beloved Top 10 hits like “This Magic Moment,” “Cara Mia,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Let’s Lock the Door (and Throw Away the Key),” “Walkin’ in the Rain,” and “Only in America” still hold a special place in the hearts of legions of fans to this day.
Joining the tour is Brian Hyland. Known as a 1960s teen idol with iconic hit songs like “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” “Sealed with a Kiss,” “Ginny Come Lately,” and “Gypsy Woman” that ruled the Billboard Top-10, Hyland’s harmonies are as smooth as ever today. Visit any country in the world and, to this very day, Hyland’s timeless hits still surf the radio waves without fail.
Also appearing are Vocal Group Hall of Fame inductees Jay Siegel’s Tokens, featuring original lead singer Jay Siegel, who is still hitting his signature soaring falsettos on hits like “Tonight I Fell In Love,” “I Hear Trumpets Blow,” “Portrait of My Love,” and the song that has been called an immortal pop epiphany: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” One of the seminal songs of all time, it has enjoyed a resurgence in multi-generational popularity thanks to its prominence in the long-running Broadway hit show The Lion King and the Disney movie of the same name.
The 1960s and 70s were pivotal years for Baby Boomers, and these decades evoke memories of youth, freedom, and the power of music to unite and inspire. Whether your audience is looking to relive the magic of their youth or introduce a younger generation to these classics, The Great American Tour brings together the hit songs that continue to define an era. Best of all, this tour is bookable year-round — not just in the summer months — and will fly in and out of markets. Pick the day you want, and we will make the magic happen at your venue!
