The Grass Roots
Past Concert

LineUp

Formed in Memphis, the 1960s blue-eyed soul and pop group the Box Tops launched singer Alex Chilton's career before he formed Big Star. Managed by producers Chips Moman and Dan Penn, the band achieved massive chart success with their 1967 number one hit The Letter and the 1968 hit Cry Like a Baby. Plagued by member departures and creative friction, the group released four LPs before officially disbanding in 1970.
The Grass Roots originated as a folk-rock studio alias created by producers P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri before a real band was recruited. The group achieved 14 Top 40 hits, including Let's Live for Today and Midnight Confessions.
Formed in Chicago from the Pulsations, the Buckinghams became top-selling rock hitmakers in 1967 with million-sellers like Kind of a Drag, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, and Don't You Care. Featuring Dennis Tufano's vocals and soul-styled brass, the group later reunited to tour.
