The Drifters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, The Platters to perform Jan. 18

The Drifters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, and The Platters will perform on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 7:30pm at the Entertainment Center next to the Rapides Parish Coliseum. 

The newly renovated Entertainment Center (formerly the Expo Hall) has been updated as a venue for intimate 1,500 seat concerts and other live entertainment. Come see what the Entertainment Center has to offer on when The Drifters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, and The Platters perform live.

Three Rock & Roll Hall of Fame acts in one show – it’s not a concert…it’s a party. Spend a nostalgic evening saluting three of the world’s most beloved musical groups who were instrumental in creating the Rock & Roll/Doo Wop sound: The Drifters, one of Rock & Roll’s founding vocal groups with their 50-year catalog of hits (Under the Boardwalk, Up on the Roof, This Magic Moment, and On Broadway), Cornell Gunter’s Coasters (Charlie Brown, Yakety Yak, Poison Ivy), and The Platters featuring four of America’s premier singers performing their greatest hits (Only You, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, The Great Pretender).

Combined, these three Rock & Roll Hall of Fame groups have been associated with well over forty of the top classic songs in Rock & Roll history. From “Under the Boardwalk” to “Only You” to “Yakety Yak”, very few artists can boast of a richer musical resume. With such incredible musical diversity – from the comedy of Cornell Gunter’s Coasters to the romance of The Platters to the Motown Magic of The Drifters.

Tickets are on sale now. Tickets will be available at the Coliseum Box Office or at the “Buy Tickets” link.
