Ron Dante joins the lineup to delight with his own mega-hits, “Sugar Sugar” and “Tracy.”

Their breakout hit was “She Cried”. Their next chart hit was “Only In America “, which they followed with hit songs ‘”Come A Little Bit Closer,” “Cara Mia,” and “This Magic Moment”, which hit the Billboard top 10.
Also returning to the tour for 2024 are THE ASSOCIATION, who enjoyed massive radio success in the ‘60s, with such No. 1 hits as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love” and “Along Comes Mary.” This iconic vocal group was a staple on the radio airways in the 1960’s.
