This dynamic quartet shared the stage with Frankie Valli for well over a decade as The Four Seasons. After their long tenure with the group, they developed their own signature sound performing the classic hits of pop, rock, jazz and doo wop in their MODERN style! They feel very fortunate to have worked alongside many of the artists they celebrate and when TMG take the stage, they bring their charm, high energy, and four-part harmony without limits!  

"These guys are truly special!  They’re the best singers I’ve ever worked with!” -Frankie Valli
