Elsbeary Hobbs / The Drifters

Surely, there is no more aptly named group in show business than the Drifters. The group that was formed 40 years ago to be a vehicle for top talent to drift in and out of has become the showcase for over 100 performers.

Throughout the years, the group has been able to turn out over 29 chart records and have sold almost 50 million albums worldwide. Their current blockbuster album, “The Drifters: Then and Now”, is perhaps their best, featuring some of their greatest live performances as well as their complete current live show recorded at the Hard Rock Café on a two CD set.

They have performed before 4 presidents, including an appearance at President Clinton's second inaugural ball. Their television appearances started with the Ed Sullivan show in the 50's and continued with numerous guest spots on the Tonight Show with Jack Paar right on up through Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. Recently, they have been on USA This Morning, the Today Show, and Good Morning America.

The Drifters were honored with the ultimate music business accolade in 1988: induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - appropriately in the same year as such other rock and roll icons as the Beatles, the Supremes, Bob Dylan, and the Beach Boys.

The current act blends a tasteful mixture of the Drifters' million sellers and contemporary standards - all presented within the context of the Drifters' unique style
