Under the Streetlamp leaped into the spotlight when its PBS TV special began making the rounds. Who were these four guys with the limitless energy and song-savvy presentation of hits from the 1950s and 1960s?
It turns out they met while performing in the Chicago company of “Jersey Boys,” where standing ovations from baby boomers and their families illuminated every show. During the run, Michael Ingersoll, who played the role of Nick Massi, gave a solo concert for a local nonprofit group and invited his stage buddies to join him. The enthusiastic crowd convinced them that the American Radio Songbook must be revisited. Overwhelming response to the Under the Streetlamp PBS special launched a nationwide tour that brings the quartet to the Music Center at Strathmore.
