Few Country groups have had the enduring popularity or crossover success of The Oak Ridge Boys. The original formation of the gospel group began around the mid-50’s in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, by the early 70’s the four-member group as we know it today was formed and by 1977 they took the country music scene by storm. In October 2015, The Oak Ridge Boys were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Made up of lead singer Duane Allen, tenor Joe Bonsall, baritone William Lee Golden, and bass Richard Sterben their four separate voices combine to create that unmistakable signature harmony referred to as the “Fifth Voice”. The Oak Ridge Boys have one of the most distinct and recognizable sounds in the music industry.

Today they are one of the most successful touring groups still performing more than 150 dates each year. In addition to their busy touring schedule, they are also strong advocates for numerous charitable and civic causes.
