50s and 60s – American Graffiti
The iconic film American Graffiti became a cultural pioneer, reviving the spirit of the 1950s and 60s for a new generation. Today, we are proud to present that legendary era: American Graffiti starring Frankie and the Flashbacks. This show is a sonic time machine, meticulously bringing audiences every major hit from every major artist between 1957 and 1963 – the time period that gave birth to the teenager and changed the world forever.
A Masterclass in Rock ‘n’ Roll History
Featuring an elite 5-piece ensemble, Frankie and the Flashbacks bring over 30 years of collective experience to the stage. Having performed extensively across prestigious theaters, major fairs, exhibitions, and world-class casinos, this group has mastered the art of the “Nostalgia Concert.” The show is a relentless parade of million-selling hits, Elvis Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes” and Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” to the piano-pounding energy of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire.”
Danny and the Juniors anthemic “At the Hop” opens the show’s guiding principle: “Rock and Roll is Here to Stay!” Buddy Holly’s Winter Dance Party is featured with the Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba ensuring to pay tribute to those Rock ‘n’ Roll Legends, along with Dion and Del Shannon and Little Richard and Bo Diddley.
American Graffiti celebrates the smooth vocal stylings of the Doo-Wop era with crowd favorites like The Diamonds’ “Little Darlin” and The Del Vikings’ “Come Go With Me.” As the performance moves into the 1960s, melodies of The Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA” and the early Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There.”
The Gold Standard for Theatres and Casinos
American Graffiti starring Frankie and the Flashbacks has quickly become one of the most sought-after nostalgia acts in the industry. While the show boasts universal appeal, it is especially effective for the 55+ demographic, consistently delivering sold-out performances in:
– Theatres: A polished, narrative-driven concert experience that honors the legends.
– Casinos: High-glamour, upbeat entertainment that keeps the room electric and the audience engaged.
– Fairs & Exhibitions: A family-friendly, high-participation show that appeals to the heart of Americana.
When you book American Graffiti, you aren’t just booking a band—you are booking a world-class Rock ‘n’ Roll show that nostalgically celebrates the most beloved music in history. Get ready for a night where the jukebox never stops!

“Beach Party Boys, Frankie Valli and American Graffiti, were superb. Fernando, crooned them to a frenzy with his Frankie Valli tribute. A lot of people said, if you close your eyes you would think it was the real Frankie Valli. The Beach Party Boy set and the American Graffiti set were exceptional and the dance floor was packed from beginning to end. The 2-3 encores said it all. Everyone loved them and all the comments that I received was hire them for next year. The entire band was very amiable and from the heart, sincere, and you could tell that they love playing in front of appreciative crowds. 10/10 rating”

“My girlfriend and I attended the Marmora Jamboree last night (Sept. 7) for the first time and even sat in the rain! This band is excellent! Great music and so talented! I am in my early 50’s and am bananas about 50’s and 60′ music! I like how the group told the audience some history about each singer/song. The man who sang Franki Valli – Sherry- was even better than Frankie Valli! We could have listened to this group all night! When the lead singer (I believe) spoke about his Dad coming from southern Italy it hit home because my parents came to Canada in 1960 from Sicily too. Our husbands chose not to attend the Jamboree with us. Crazy! They missed a great show!”
