A Musical Tribute to America

A celebration of music, a tribute to America, Red, White & Rock is yet another talent-packed production of WQED Pittsburgh's American Soundtrack Concert Series.

American Soundtrack: Red, White & Rock is a blast of musical diversity, a concert like no other. Legendary artists Frankie Avalon, Jerry Butler, Connie Francis and Frankie Valli host the live reunion with over twenty groups performing for PBS audiences and for the preservation of the "American soundtrack."

Celebrating America and its various music genres, American Soundtrack: Red, White & Rock takes the musical journey from The Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie," to "The Tears of a Clown" by the Miracles, to the romantic classic by the Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody" to a Connie Francis rendition of "God Bless America."

The All-American, all-star line up also features Tommy James & the Shondells, The Toys, Dee Dee Sharp, The Chords, Shirley Alston Reeves (the original voice of the Shirelles), The Dixie Cups, Sonny Geraci, the Four Tops and many more.

American Soundtrack: Red, White & Rock premieres in Pittsburgh on WQED TV13, on Sunday, August 11 at 8pm and will air nationally in November.
