Exceptionally talented performance artists Lance Bernard Bryant, Omar Ross, Jovian K.
Ford, and Candace C. Culcleasure lend their sharp velvety smooth voices immersed in
carefully honed vocal skills to perform as one of the many voices under the one name, The
Platters.
With their well-synced, intricately polished, smooth harmonic stylings, this group performs with Music Director Michael Larson presenting the classic evergreen sounds of The Platters in their original elegance, taking the audience on an interactive musical journey back in time with original music and forward into the future visiting the sounds of vocal groups influenced by The Platters through the decades with a performance designed to amaze and delight people of all ages.

In 1952-53, bass singer Herb Reed founded and named The Platters, later becoming a Rock n' Roll, Vocal, and GRAMMY Halls of Fame artist. It is the first black group to be overwhelmingly accepted on the world stage and the first to reach international superstardom. He was the only performing vocalist who performed with the group from its inception until his death in June 2012 and who appeared on all 400+ recordings making him the only group member who performed with The Platters continuously until he died in 2012.
Seventy years after the group’s founding, The Platters live on through Reed’s legacy under the auspices of Frederick J. Balboni Jr. Reed's hand-picked successor despite a tumultuous history spanning decades of racism and unscrupulous identity thieves in the United States and abroad that have attempted to steal its distinctiveness and make it their own.
