"We'll Make You Laugh --- Guaranteed!!" |
The Villagers started performing together June 7, 1969 at the Poison Apple in Detroit, Michigan. Their unique brand of humor and mixture of musical styles, including rich four-part harmony, made them an instant success in Detroit. They opened their own club, Friar Tuck's Cabaret Theatre, in Maumee, Ohio in 1973 where they performed 50 weeks a year until 1990 when they closed the club. During that time they worked with Pete Barbutti, Professor Irwin Corey, Soupy Sales, Morey Amsterdam, Jack Carter, Louis Nye and Pat Paulsen. Today the group performs at corporate events, conventions, fund raisers, select clubs and in 1997 began an annual one-week tour of Florida. In July 2001 they appeared at a North American Convention held at the Las Vegas Hilton. One of their specialities is singing an acapella version of the United States of America and Canadian National Anthems at the begining of sporting events. They have enjoyed continued success with both their loyal following and new audiences. It's always a wonderful feeling when the person responsible for booking the act tells them that they received high compliments for their choice of entertainment. WHAT DO THEY DO? The Villagers are entertainers, they are not a dance band. They work self contained or with a Big Band. Since their inception they have developed a show which entertains people of all ages and backgrounds. By mixing music, comedy and interaction with the audience, they go beyond the dimension of musicians to that of entertainers. They have as much fun as the audience when they perform. |
