SVAN Summer Concerts Presents: Johnny & the Triumphs with Special Guest Gwen Tracey at Northville Waterfront Park

In the middle of the 20th century a new music came into being. It was a fusion of pop, rhythm and blues and country. It cut across race and class, city and country. No body owned it or controlled it then. They called it rock and roll and music hasn’t been the same since. Johnny and The Triumphs make this kind of music: rockabilly, rhythm and blues and old time rock and roll. They make music to dance to. They are not an imitation 50s band. They are much more the real thing. Without pretense Johnny and the Triumphs capture the feel and spirit and drive of those early years.
