The Classics IV to Rock Arch Performances at the Berrie Center with Iconic ’60s & ’70s Hits on December 7, 2024

The Berrie Center for the Arts at Ramapo College of New Jersey is honored to welcome The Classics IV to their stage as part of the Arch Performances’ season on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 8pm. The Classics IV, one of the most popular and influential pop groups of the 60s and 70s, achieved phenomenal success with hits “Spooky,” “Stormy,” “Traces,” and “Everyday With You Girl”, all of which sold well over a million copies and were awarded gold and platinum discs by the Recording Industry of America.

Originally led by the great Dennis Yost, prior to his death, Yost passed the group on to Tom Garrett. The band is now led by Tom Garrett and has six members. Still active, The Classics IV have toured the country with other legendary artists on The Happy Together Tour, including The Association, The Buckinghams, and many others. Garrett spoke with Berrie Center Assistant Director Karley Berrios and she asked him what audiences can expect at the December 7 concert. “Of course all the hits,” Garrett said, “We try to present a snapshot, if you will, of that era of music…they’ll hear music from some of our pals from The Happy Together Tour.” Garrett then went on to say, “[audiences] are going to have a good time. They are going to know virtually every song.” 

The Classics IV is one of the many performances in Arch Performances’ exciting 25th season line up. Other performances to look forward to are Bhoomi, presented by Kalanidhi Dance, Mutts Gone Nuts, Eileen Ivers, Mack Brandon’s Gospel Explosion, and Shayna Steele Band.
