Stacey Marcus, of the Marblehead Reporter, wrote:

"I was instantly smitten with the Follen Angels and their unique presentation of music. The group has the robust talent of a big band coupled with the intimate charm and allure of a glamorous piano bar entertainer from a sequined era. All in all, it was a toe tapping good time that made me want to don an evening gown, color my lips ruby red and sip a bubbly glass of champagne"

The Follen Angels will fill the air with the incomparable melodies and sophisticated lyrics of Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, and more great composers. Some much loved songs include "Blue Skies," "Johnny One Note," "Steppin' Out With My Baby," "Bewitched," " Cheek to Cheek," "What'll I Do?," "My Funny Valentine," and many more favorites.

Join Hildy Grossman on vocals, Rieko Tanaka on piano and vocals, Kenneth W. Dantzig on drums, Rick Stone on sax/clarinet and Nicholas Thibault on bass for music that is as timeless as it is elegant. We guarantee you will have a smile on your face and be humming a tune for the rest of the night.
