Memphis
blue eyed soul legend THE BOX TOPS celebrate their 50th anniversary and
the release of their mega hit THE LETTER as a featured act on the HAPPY
TOGETHER TOUR 2017. Considered the premier 60's package tour, HAPPY
TOGETHER will play in almost 50 US cities between Memorial Day and Labor
Day.
2016 was truly a remarkable year for the BOX TOPS. After a six year hiatus, original
founding members BILL CUNNINGHAM AND GARY TALLEY joined up with their
former manager (and musician) RICK LEVY for exploratory rehearsals in
Nashville. Buoyed by keys, drums, and horn section, THE BOX TOPS took to
the road in January 2016, and played concerts up and down the East
Coast and the Midwest. They were the featured act at Las Vegas' Cannery
Casino Summer Kickoff Concert, which had its biggest attendance ever.
Their
authentic sound, contemporary look, and raves from audiences and
promoters alike brought THE BOX TOPS to the attention of the producers
of the HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR. Offered a featured and co-billing spot, they
accepted. As manager Levy stated, “Strategically, there is no better
opportunity to be seen by so many fans, top promoters, and buyers in
such a concentrated time. The HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR 2017 will be a
fantastic opportunity for fans to sample THE BOX TOPS all across the
country.”
THE BOX TOPS continue to perform select shows outside of the summer tour and field international inquiries as well. Join the BOX TOPS as they celebrate their 50th anniversary all during 2017.
