Amid the synthetic drums, the parachute pants, the Sony Walkmans, the MTV videos and the aliens phoning home, a number of beautiful songs were written that stand the test of time. Now the Newton Family Singers will rock the house with music that Gen Xers (and those who love them) will remember well — hits from The Talking Heads, The Go-Go’s, Journey, R.E.M. and more.
Come along and enjoy songs of love, existentialism, environmentalism and just plain fun. With new choral arrangements by our music director, Chris Eastburn, NFS remakes the familiar for old and new fans alike. Bring your family and sing along! Tickets are available online at www.newtonfamilysingers.org. For questions please email newfamilysingers@gmail.com.
The Newton Family Singers are an intergenerational ensemble celebrating family, community, and American folk music (usually!).
