Fri 25th March 2022 7:30pm

Following a sellout audience at Two Sisters in September 2021 with their show ‘The Story of Doo-Wop’, vocal group the TestostaTones explored the birth of the Doo-Wop.

Due to popular demand, they will be returning with their sequel show ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’… what happened next!

The show celebrates the music that followed Doo-Wop – Jump Jive and early Rock n Roll and features the very best early rock songs from the 50s which were equal parts electric, exciting and dangerous. The TestostaTones will tell the story of the genre through song, performing seminal songs by classic artists such as Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, Louis Prima, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis among many others.

Hailing from Suffolk, UK he plays music inspired by alt-rock influences from across the pond like Wilco and Phoebe Bridgers whilst drawing influence from British 60s/70s folk acts like Nick Drake and John Martyn.
