Malt shop Memories Live is the gold standard for Rock & Roll fans everywhere.

We are excited to announce this memorable, twistin’ & rockin’ performance, featuring a lineup of classic artists at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey!

Bobby Wilson

Bobby Wilson, son of legendary R&B/Soul singer Jackie Wilson, shares the same amazing traits and talents of his father. Many say Jackie Wilson’s legacy lives on through Bobby. His adoring fans have dubbed him ‘Mr. Entertainment’ from his natural ability to entertain and bring every crowd to their feet.

Bobby is also a three-time Grammy Balloted Artist with his latest CD, “It’s About Time”, and four Top 10 hits that packed #10 on the Adult Contemporary Charts.

Whether performing Jackie’s hits or Motown favorites, “what you’re going to see is Bobby Wilson giving you all he’s got on stage,” the singer says, “And my dad’s going to show himself, you’re going to hear him and you’re going to see him … I feel my dad around me a lot,” a presence, he added, that’s felt by his audience during every show.

Charlie Thomas’ Drifters

The Drifters are an American pop and R&B/soul vocal group. They were originally formed as a backing group for Clyde McPhatter, formerly the lead tenor of Billy Ward and his Dominoes in 1953. The second group of Drifters, formed in 1959 and led by Ben E. King and Charlie Thomas.

After 1965 members drifted in and out of both groups and many of these formed other groups of Drifters as well. These groups are usually identified with a possessive credit such as “Bill Pinkney’s Original Drifters”, “Charlie Thomas’ Drifters”.

Charlie and his Drifters consisting of Louis Baily, Jerome Manning, and Stephen Brown, performed together for 40 years. Charlie Thomas passed away on January 31, 2023.

At the request of Charlie Thomas his remaining members now perform to keep the Drifters legacy alive along with lead Vocal Robert Marion.

Jay Siegel’s Tokens

A reformed Tokens group emerged in 1961 with Mitch and Phil Margo joining Medress and Siegel. The group quickly attained prominence with the hit song, “Tonight I Fell In Love.”

In October 1961, they recorded what has become one of the biggest hit songs of all time, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” That hit song is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011. One of the seminal songs of all times, it has enjoyed resurgence in multi-generational popularity thanks to its prominence in the long-running Broadway hit show, The Lion King.
