Raue Center to Present The Buckinghams Next Month

Raue Center For The Arts is pleased to welcome The Buckinghams at 8 p.m. on November 12, 2016. From Chicago's Holiday Ballroom to America's living room on "The Ed Sullivan Show," across the United States and in the White House, The Buckinghams have stayed true to their Chicago roots.

Audiences and critics have affirmed the demand for the music of The Buckinghams, proving that success is sweeter the second time around. Original founding members Carl Giammarese and Nick Fortuna continue to deliver a powerful replay of their hit songs and solid gold memories, including "Kind of a Drag," "Don't You Care" and "Hey Baby, They're Playing Our Song."

In the 1960s, The Buckinghams were at the forefront of a musical style that has come full circle.

For the past two and half decades, the '60s super group has successfully toured the nation with their signature pop music. Their show is filled with harmony, spontaneity, humor and a musical strength that appeals not only to their loyal fans, but forges new links with younger generations as well.

The Buckinghams deliver a spectacular live show that blends their Billboard Top 40 hits with a mix of sizzling audience favorites from the pop and rock charts of the 1960s and early 1970s. Giammarese and Fortuna continue to be a proud part of the soundtrack of American life. From million-selling chart-topping hits to creative new music, fans are always at home with the music of The Buckinghams.

Tickets start at $30 and may be purchased online at rauecenter.org or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake.
