Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts Welcomes Back The New Christy Minstrels

From Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts:

CERRITOS, CA – The New Christy Minstrels redefined the Pop and Folk genres with chart-topping hits such as Denver and the Oscar-winning song Chim Chim Cher-ee from the movie Mary Poppins. The Grammy-winning group returns to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) with a concert on Friday, October 28, 8:00 PM. Tickets, priced from $45, are available at the CCPA Ticket Office, at cerritoscenter.com, or by calling (562) 467-8818.

The New Christy Minstrels has been hailed for its rich and robust vocal blend and, according to All Music Guide, for its “wholesome charisma.” The group’s debut album Presenting The New Christy Minstrels: Exciting New Folk Chorus, which featured an upbeat version of This Land Is Your Land, was a mainstay on the Billboard music charts for two years and won a “Best Performance by a Chorus” Grammy. The honor paved the way for the ensemble’s regular appearances on The Andy Williams Show, further gaining the group fans and exposure. The group’s Merry Christmas and Today albums soared to the Top 10.

The New Christy Minstrels’ In Person and Ramblin’ albums boosted the band’s standing in the music industry. All Music Guide called Ramblin’ the group’s “artistic high-water mark. Their arrangements were never more stirring and their singing never lustier.” The album featured the hit Green, Green, which remains one of the most popular original songs to come out of the early 1960s Folk music boom.
