13 NEWNAN The Drifters Thursday
Sept. 13, 7 p.m., $15 - $20
Back by popular demand, The Drifters will again take the stage at the Nixon Centre in Newnan. Beginning in the early 1950s, their hits “Up on the Roof,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “This Magic Moment,” and “Stand by Me,” have become true
classics. The Drifters were the first musical group to include string instruments into R&B with “There Goes My Baby” and the first musical group to sell two million records with their pop classic, “Up On The Roof.” They were among the first African-American vocal groups to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with fellow inductees the Rolling Stones, the
Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Supremes. For more information or to order tickets, call the Nixon Centre at 770-254-2787.
