The Goldtones are considered "Florida's Hottest Vocal Harmony Group" singing songs ranging from the traditional doo-wop tunes of the 50s and 60s to those melodies sung by later groups of the 70s and 80s. The Goldtones have been performing in Florida for over 10 years and have earned a reputation for tight harmonies and performing the classics just like you remember them. Where were you when you first heard, "In the Still of the Night"? When you hear it again at a concert, you'll be brought right back to that place, that date.... That reputation was recognized by Elliott Lurie of "Looking Glass" (best known for their number one hit, "Brandy") who requested that The Goldtones back him up when performing an original doo-wop song that he wrote. With a repertoire that includes "Blue Moon", "Run Around Sue" and "Teenager in Love", they also sing the big harmony songs like "Have you Heard?" and "Turn Around". Some of the most memorable songs are those recorded by The Duprees, Dion and the Belmonts, The Beach Boys, The Four Seasons and The Bee Gees. The Goldtones have become the most requested harmony group in Florida and have developed a consistent performing schedule of 80-100 gigs/year in a variety of venues including cruise ships, restaurants, dinner clubs, theaters, casinos, residential communities and private venues. Audiences love them not only for their vocal talents but for their humor and their audience interaction. There's never a dull moment with entertainment by The Goldtones!
