Over the years, Cornell Gunter's Coasters have continually built a new market for their approach to 1950's music. If you've seen the show, you will know what we mean when we say, "you are in for a surprise." Today, they are as much a comedy act as a singing group. It's The Coasters' music through the eyes of Salvador Dali. It's definitely not your mother's music. Today, the legacy of original Coaster, Cornell Gunter, lives on as the group that still bears his name continues to tour from coast to coast. This American Rhythm & Blues/ Rock ‘n’ Roll vocal group brings their audience a unique experience with hits, such as, “Searchin,” “Young Blood,” and “Poison Ivy," just to name a few. Known as one of the most prolific and enduring acts of all time, don't miss out on a night of laughter, joy, and pure entertainment!
Although the Coasters originated outside of mainstream doowop, their records were so frequently imitated that they became an important part of the doo wop legacy through the 1960s. The Coasters' hits also comprised a major portion of the song score for the 1994 musical revue Smokey Joe’s Café, a retrospective of Leiber & Stoller songs that received one Grammy Award and seven Tony Award nominations following its 1995 Broadway debut. From “Yakkety Yak” to “Charlie Brown” to “Poison Ivy”, these monumental songs helped induct The Coasters into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
