ABOUT THE PLATTERS
The Platters® are one of the most celebrated and enduring vocal harmony groups in the history of American music — a living institution whose sound helped define an era and whose influence continues to shape popular music worldwide.
This is not a nostalgia show, not a tribute act, and not a museum-piece revue. It is a premium live concert experience presented by the continuing official Platters® organization — a living, evolving group whose sound has spanned generations for more than seven decades.
The Platters® deliver a world-class live performance built for theatres, performing arts centers, casinos, civic events, corporate engagements, private events, and audiences across generations. The show blends the group’s signature harmonic elegance with timeless classics, new music, romance, rhythm, and the emotional power that only The Platters® can deliver.
The result is a concert that reaches grandparents, parents, children, and every generation in between — familiar enough to feel like home, polished enough for premium stages, and alive enough to feel unmistakably current.
Founded and named by Herb Reed in 1953, The Platters® helped define the sound of pop music and rhythm and blues, creating a vocal-group standard that still echoes through groups like The Temptations, The Supremes, Boyz II Men, TLC, Destiny’s Child, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, One Direction, and today’s global K-pop phenomenon.
The official Platters® organization is carried forward by Herb Reed Enterprises, LLC under the leadership of Frederick J. Balboni, Jr., Chairman and CEO — Herb Reed’s longtime manager, trusted collaborator, and handpicked successor. Performing worldwide, The Platters® continue to honor the name, sound, and standard that Reed founded, protected, and entrusted to the future.
For presenters and buyers, The Platters® offer something rare: a live concert with true American music history, official brand continuity, cross-generational appeal, and the unmistakable sound of harmony, excellence, and celebration.
The sound that started it all — still alive, still electric, still The Platters®.
