The Osmond Brothers - Detroit Performs

MCPA presents The Osmonds

For more than five decades The Osmond Brothers have entertained sold-out crowds around the world. Now the legendary brothers, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy bring their signature brand of entertainment to the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts for one extraordinary performance on Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m.

Five decades ago, four young boys were flashed across national television screens on what was meant to be a one-time shot at ?the big time.? That single appearance led to such an overwhelming mail response that for the following seven seasons, The Osmond Brothers became regulars on the Andy Williams Show. From that point on, their name alone became synonymous with the ?big time? and everything associated with it. Their lives would never be the same, nor would those lives with whom they could come into contact.

The Osmonds are one of the most well-known entertainment families in the world. Their example of an unfailing belief in God and family, along with a wide-range of talent, creates the unique combination that has led to their tremendous success. Celebrating over 50 years in entertainment, music historians recognize them as the longest running group in history, having never disbanded. Their spirit of dedication and loyalty to the craft is felt and reciprocated by their equally dedicated and loyal following. It is this same spirit they bring to their many music styles.

The Osmond Brothers? career began in ?Barbershop? as young boys, and it is that familiar harmonizing that has become the ?signature? on their music. They skillfully play several musical instruments among them; dance, write music, and create electricity between stage and audience that can only be felt during an Osmond performance. The Osmond family has sold millions of records worldwide, earning them more than 53 gold and platinum records along with other prestigious awards. They surpassed both Elvis? and the Beatles? best single year success by being honored with nine gold records in 1971.

The Osmond Brothers have created a niche all their own in the field of entertainment.

Their remarkable success with pop, rock, country, jazz and gospel music has enabled them to touch audiences both young and old, and every age in between. Known for such classic hits as ?One Bad Apple,? ?Yo-Yo,? ?Down By The Lazy River? and Love Me For a Reason,? the brothers? close harmonies are unrivaled in the music world.

Tickets are $45 gold circle, and $40 house, seniors 55+, students and military save $5 per ticket. Purchase tickets in person at the Macomb Center box office Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. ? 2 p.m. and Friday 12 ? 6 p.m. The Macomb Center for the Performing Arts is located on Macomb Community College?s Center Campus at 44575 Garfield Road in Clinton Township, Michigan 48038.
