The Box Tops Friday, September 16, 7:00 p.m. Five Flags Theater

From the mid ‘60s into the ‘70s, there was no finer blue-eyed soul group than The Box Tops from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1967, The Box Tops recorded a string of hits including the worldwide number one “The Letter” plus six additional Top 40 tracks, including; “Cry Like a Baby,” “Soul Deep,” “Neon Rainbow,” “Choo Choo Train,” and “Sweet Cream Ladies—Forward March.” In 2015, original bassist/vocalist Bill Cunningham and original guitarist/vocalist Gary Talley teamed up with veteran music industry bandleader/manager Rick Levy to bring The Box Tops back to waiting audiences. In short order, they have performed to thousands of fans all over the USA. The Box Tops show highlights their hit records, and equally importantly, Memphis music of the 1960s, especially some of the songs that influenced the members as young teens growing up in a musical hotbed. The show is complete with horns, and promises musical history that is hip! The Dubuque area rockers Missbehavin will appear as a special opening act. Your Connections Club price is just $34.25 per person, due at reservation. Our seats are located center floor in rows F and G.
