DESTIN — In partnership with Ocean Reef Vacation Rentals & Real Estate, the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation continues a year-long celebration of its 20th anniversary with a performance by December '63, a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tribute band.
The concert is 7 p.m. Saturday, April 11 in the Dugas Pavilion in the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village, 4323 Commons Drive W. in Destin.
The five-member band is named for Frankie Valli’s 1975 hit "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)," which topped the U.S. music charts at No. 3 in 1975.
December ’63 celebrates the charismatic '60s crooner with the unmistakable falsetto voice with such memorable hits as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Rag Doll,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “My Eyes Adored You” and more.
