December 6 brings “A Bronx Christmas – Starring the Bronx Wanderers.” One Family. One Dream. The Ultimate Soundtrack of Rock N Roll. Every great song had a champion ... before the hit records ... before the fame ... before it became just another song for the radio. A champion who believed in its glory ... heard its potential ... and suddenly transformed a few notes in to something immediately unforgettable and magical. These are the champions that the Bronx Wanderers bring to life. With superlative vocals and musicianship, dynamic enthusiasm and a genuine love of the music they perform, The Bronx Wanderers recreate the magic of the era and build an energetic bond with their audience, guaranteeing an evening of toe-tapping, hand-clapping and dancing in the aisles all night long, with addition of holiday favorites like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “Winter Wonderland”. A joyous holiday show for all ages!
