Chris Ruggiero’s new show is the perfect kick-off to the summer, jam-packed with feel-good sun-drenched vibes and priceless musical memories! If you remember songs like “California Dreamin’,” “My Girl,” “Groovin’” and “Wouldn’t it Be Nice,” you’ll be in the right place at the right time when Chris brings his “Summer Serenade” to Avenel Performing Arts Center. You might know him from his PBS-TV performances, his appearance on Good Morning America or from one of his prior appearances here in Avenel..
Chris tells his incredible story by breathing new life into the timeless music of the 60s & 70s with his über-talented band – complete with a touch of live brass just like in the old days. Many of his unique arrangements have been crafted with the magic touch of Four Seasons arranger and pop-rock legend Charlie Calello (who is also a fan, commenting, “It’s been a long time since I heard a voice like this.”) Chris’s show will leave you feeling sun-kissed long after he leaves the stage. PS: If you know Chris from his previous albums and shows, don’t worry, he’ll be singing favorites like “Unchained Melody” and “Betcha By Golly Wow” as well.
