The Doo Wop Project at Paramount Hudson Valley in Peekskill on April 25 takes the tradition of American vocal harmony from the street corners of the 1950s through the Motown era and into the present, performed by members of the Broadway casts of “Jersey Boys” and “A Bronx Tale.” The project treats doo-wop not as a museum artifact but as a living musical form — one whose influence runs through every vocal group, every barbershop quartet, every a cappella arrangement that followed.
Paramount Hudson Valley, the restored 1930 movie palace in Peekskill, provides the kind of architecturally grand setting that matches the music’s ambition. The venue’s acoustic properties and intimate seating make it one of the Hudson Valley’s finest rooms for vocal-driven performance.
