The Doo Wop Project, comprised of Broadway veterans Charl Brown, Dwayne Cooper, John Dias, Russell Fischer & Dominic Nolfi, has released their new full-length album, Echoes of the Street. Check it out below.
Echoes of the Street marks the group’s fifth full-length release and pays homage to the roots of doo wop while reimagining modern classics for a new era. Produced by Sonny Paladino for Joy Machine Records, the quintet recorded 12 tracks for Echoes of the Street, spanning R&B classics, pop smashes, and musical theater favorites.
On the album, the vocalists perform a range of tracks from “My Girl” by The Temptations to “Get Lucky” [feat. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers] by Daft Punk. Other tracks include “Somewhere” from West Side Story and “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift. The album also features their first-ever original song, “Ooh Whee (That Doo Wop Song)” written by songwriter Elliot Lurie, frontman of Looking Glass and writer of the hit song “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)."
“Elliot told us that he spends an hour or so a day listening to new music on Spotify and found us there,” says musical director and producer Sonny Paladino. “He loved our fresh take on a nostalgic sound and knew he had the perfect song for us. He sent it over, we made some arrangement tweaks to fit our voices, and with a little back-and-forth, we’re all really happy with how the collaboration turned out.”
To celebrate the release, The Doo Wop Project recently headlined a special album release show at Sony Hall in New York City on October 7th, featuring an evening filled with classics and debut performances from the new record. Throughout the rest of 2025, they will entertain audiences on the road with a brand new 90-minute show—also named Echoes of The Street—across North America this month, followed by dates in October and beyond.
