-BIO-
"THE FIVE BOROUGHS" When five transplanted New Yorkers decided
to carry on the tradition of '50s and '60s vocal group harmony in the
'80s, South Florida became the instant beneficiary. Miami, Fort
Lauderdale, and Broward County in general experienced a heavy influx of
immigrants from the northeastern states during the '70s and '80s. Among
those easterners were a group of men who, like many of their transplanted
neighbors, were in middle age and had grown up listening to the vocal
group sounds played on the radio in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburgh, and this elite group had sung with professional
groups in the '60s and were once again drawn together by their common
interest, traceable back to the streets of BROOKLYN, QUEENS, MANHATTAN,
the BRONX, and STATEN ISLAND-hence, THE FIVE BOROUGHS. With the release of
150 songs on numerous labels since 1985 to present, THE FIVE BOROUGHS
performance opportunities were multiplying, they soon found that their
versatile harmonies were in demand as backup for a myriad of '50s, and
'60s lead singers coming south to perform. As the population of Florida
increased, so did the interest in having more of the old groups perform,
so THE FIVE BOROUGHS found themselves performing with every artist of the
'50s and '60s era. THE FIVE BOROUGHS have performed throughout the United
States and on numerous RADIO, TV, and most major venues throughout Florida.
Today THE FIVE BOROUGHS consist of (6) front singers and a (6) piece
backup band, all together they, THE FIVE BOROUGHS have 45 years of musical
performances for tens of thousands of satisfied fans.
