JANUARY * Compiled by Pamela A. Keene

3 Redneck Tenors tour Georgia

3 REDNECK TENORS

he 3 Redneck Tenors: Broadway Bound bring
their musical-comedy-meets-Broadway show to
six Georgia towns in January. The "America's Got Talent"
finalists, all classically trained, demonstrate their vocal
prowess with country, pop, Broadway and opera tunes.
Matthew Lord, a graduate of the Juilliard School of
music and a 26-year veteran of the Metropolitan Opera,
created the show 17 years ago. Blake Davidson and
Jonathan Fruge round out the cast.
"I wrote this goofy show for a children's benefit at
the height of all the Three Tenors- and 10 Tenors-type
tours, and we're still having a great time with it," Lord
says. "And best of all, we make some really nice harmonies."
The show includes a mashup of Verdi's "La Donna è
Mobile" and "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," plus music
from "The Phantom of the Opera" and other Broadway
hits.
"We hope that people will laugh a lot, enjoy the music and not
learn a single thing," Lord says. "Our show is all about just having a
good time."
