Watchung Arts Center Concert To Celebrate Valentine's Day: Sat. Feb. 11

The Watchung Arts Center is pleased to present a special, pre-Valentine's Day evening of love songs and other doo-wop favorites on Saturday, February 11 at 8 PM, featuring The RB Express. The three-person vocal group, whose members have years of diverse performing experience, exemplifies the tight harmonies and rhythms of the early street corner groups. The performance will be followed by a dessert reception providing an opportunity to meet the musicians.

The RB Express was formed in March of 2004 from individual soloists expressing a love and respect for the music of days gone by. The members of the RB Express add their own touch to songs we’ve all heard on the radio. They have completed two albums, “On the Scene”, and "Back on Track", and recently finished their long-awaited 3rd album in the hope of continuing their tradition of close-knit harmonies to fans both old and new.

One of the finest, most entertaining bands to emerge from the Jersey Shore, the RB Express offers a perfect blend of your favorite music, incorporating stage presence, and audience interaction to deliver a dynamic and engaging performance.

The RB Express has performed with such artists as Frankie Lymon's Teenagers, Little Anthony and The Imperials, The Tokens, Larry Chance and The Earls, The Passions, The Dimensions, Richard Street's Temptations Review, Felix Cavaliere and The Young Rascals, The Happenings, Lou Christie, The Angels, and even made appearances in the movie, "The Old Man and the Seymore", and on television with "Fox and Friends".

In addition to performing locally in New Jersey, they have performed in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The RB Express has spread the word of doo-wop as far as Hawaii, and made their international debut was on the island of St. Maarten, weaving their own brand of musical harmonies and funny antics.

Tickets are $16 in advance, $20 ($18 WAC members, $10 students) at the door. Tickets may be purchased online at watchungartscenter.eventbrite.com.
