“Singers on The Grand” brings 1960s music to Portland April 23

For over 20 years, the popular ensemble “Singers on the Grand” has been entertaining mid-Michigan audiences with their high-quality shows. This year is no exception as the group presents "YESTERDAY: The 60s in Song" at the Portland Community Theater (231 Maple St. Portland, MI) on Saturday April 23 at 7:00 p.m. The twelve singers and seven band members will take you on a musical journey through your favorite songs of the decade, complete with colorful 1960s costumes and other elements from the era.

Coming off two sold-out shows in Grand Ledge, the group is excited to bring to Portland iconic 1960s music like songs from The Beatles, Motown, The Fifth Dimension, Sonny & Cher, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Mamas and the Papas, and many other favorite performers. This will be the ensemble’s last performance of their 2021-2022 season and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Portland Civic Players' marquee renovation project.

All tickets are $12, with general seating. Tickets can be purchased online at www.portlandcivicplayers.com or at the door the night of the show. Audience members are encouraged to dress in their favorite 1960s attire and sing along with their favorite songs. For more group information, please visit the Singers on the Grand page on Facebook.
