The Drifters have been the backbone of the recording industry since their inception in 1953 - known for their soulful mix of Doo Wop and Rhythm & Blues. Over the years, a variety of artists have performed under The Drifters name, racking up 12 Gold Records that have charted in Billboard’s Top 20 and garnered induction to both the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

Although the original Drifters have all found their way to rock’n’roll heaven, the torch has been passed and continues to keep the legacy burning hot. The Drifters have made many notable appearances in recent years including appearances at both Inaugural Balls for President Bill Clinton and acclaimed performances on Soul Train and at the Apollo Theatre.The Drifters appear in northwest Florida on Saturday, May 28 in an outdoor concert at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center in Niceville as part of a new USA tour for the group.
