The Jerseys – Tribute to Frankie Valli

What: The Jerseys have been wowing fans for years with music from the ’50s through hits of today. Specializing in the music of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons, these four have been performing together for more than 20 years as the Jersey’s. Paul, Brian, Randy and Klint are all alumni of the now defunct Country Dinner Playhouse that used to be at I-25 and Arapahoe Road. Formed originally as a tribute band for corporate events and meetings, these four guys quickly formed a chemistry on stage that attracted audiences, and they soon started getting requests for performances. Having no idea how long this would last, they put together an entire show of songs from the genre, and 15 years later, it’s still going strong. These four best friends will have you laughing, singing, and if you want, dancing in the aisles. Thanks for supporting The Jerseys.
