The Oak Ridge Boys
For more than 50 years, The Oak Ridge Boys have defined one of the most recognizable sounds in American music, blending four-part harmonies with an energetic stage presence that has earned them Grammy, CMA, ACM, and Dove Awards. With a legacy that stretches from their Gospel roots in the 1940s to their rise as Country‑Pop hitmakers, the group—Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban—has delivered classics like Elvira, Bobbie Sue, American Made, and Thank God for Kids. Their music has produced multiple gold and platinum albums, over 30 Top Ten hits, and collaborations with icons ranging from Johnny Cash and Paul Simon to George Jones and Ray Charles.
Today’s performing members are Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, Richard Sterban, and Ben James. The Oak Ridge Boys remain one of the most enduring and dynamic touring acts in the world, known for a high‑energy show that celebrates both their rich history and their continued evolution. Whether performing for presidents, recording fresh takes on their biggest hits, or exploring new musical directions with acclaimed producers, they bring the same passion that first propelled them to stardom. With decades of tradition, unmatched harmony, and a timeless catalog loved by generations, The Oak Ridge Boys continue to captivate audiences everywhere they go.
ALABAMA
It’s been over 50 years since a trio of young cousins left Fort Payne, Alabama, to spend the summer playing in a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, bar called The Bowery. It took Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook six long years of tip jars and word of mouth to earn the major label deal they’d been dreaming of, but then seemingly no time at all to change the face of country music.Â
ALABAMA is the band that changed everything. They reeled off 21 straight #1 singles, a record that will probably never be equaled in any genre. They brought youthful energy, sex appeal and a rocking edge that broadened country’s audience and opened the door to self-contained bands from then on, and they undertook a journey that led, 73 million albums later, to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
