About
The Group
The Lovettes perform their original show “Leaders Of The Pack”, a musical bio depicting the evolution of The Girl Group. “Leaders Of The Pack” is the world's most authentic salute to the women who changed music history. This retrospective concert, jam packed with harmony, dance, and narration celebrates the major female artists/groups of the golden years of pop, spanning from the 1940's- 1960s.
Spotlighting the 1940’s big band era of the Andrew Sisters, to the Rock & Roll sounds of the 50’s, and the 60’s pop of the Shirelles, Ronettes, Supremes and more, Leaders of the Pack is the ultimate “ladies night out,” appealing to all ages everywhere who are fans of the often underestimated girl group legacy.
The Lovettes love to perform with their 5-piece band (The Lovers), but tracks are also an option. Anywhere between a 20 min opener, to a full 120 minute show!
“It’s an honor to pass the torch on to the next Doo-wop generation, The Lovettes.”
