Drifters

The Drifters are an American doo-wop and R&B/soul vocal group. They were originally formed as a backing group for Clyde McPhatter, formerly the lead tenor of Billy Ward and his Dominoes in 1953.

There were three golden eras of the Drifters; the early 1950s, the 1960s, and the early 1970s (post-Atlantic period). From these, the first Drifters, formed by Clyde McPhatter, was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as "The Drifters". The second Drifters, featuring Ben E. King, was separately inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as "Ben E. King and the Drifters". In their induction, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selected four members from the first Drifters, two from the second Drifters, and one from the post-Atlantic Drifters.

Drive

Drive is the culmination of four musical journeys, and also just the beginning. Formed in 2016, each of its founding members spent years loving, listening to, and performing a wide variety of vocal music. Sharing a common background of stellar intonation, lyric expression, and expanded, ensemble sound found in barbershop harmony, they knew these fundamentals could allow a group to jump head-first into any piece that excited or moved its singers, regardless of style or genre.

Du Droppers

The Du Droppers, like so many of the pioneer R & B vocal groups that came to prominence in the late 40s and early 50s had their genesis in the field of gospel music. The original members of the Du Droppers were Junior Ginyard on lead, Willie and Harvey Ray on tenor and baritone, and Eddie Hashow on bass (soon replaced by Bob Kornegay). In prior years different members of the group had been part of such gospel groups as the Royal Harmony Singers, The Dixie-Aires, The Jubilaires, and the Southwest Jubilee Group. The newly named Du Droppers worked on some R & B material and soon auditioned for record producer Bobby Robinson and radio d.j. Joel Turnero owners of the Harlem based Red Robin label. The first record released by the group in December of 1952 was that special niche of the early years of Rhythm & Blues, the "answer" record. In this case the tune was "Can't Do Sixty No More" answering the Dominos massive hit of "Sixty Minute Man". The flip side of this first outing by the group was "Chain Me Baby" on Red Robin #108. Playing off the long popularity of the Dominos hit the Du Droppers got instant "name" recognition and publicity that go along with airplay and demand by the public for the record.

East Valley Chorale

The East Valley Chorale unites singers from over 50 Phoenix area churches. We share God's message of love and salvation at local churches, community events, retirement communities, and nursing facilities.

The Chorale was formed in 1999 when another volunteer church choir "hit the dust." Because many churches were transitioning to small worship bands, former choir members had limited opportunities to sing and share their love of God through music.

Dr. Bruce Cochran, who had been directing church choirs for over 20 years at the time, took a creative approach. He provided a haven for these displaced choir "refugees." The chorale began with only 12 singers from three different churches. There are now nearly 100 singers from about 50 Phoenix area churches.

The East Valley Chorale performs 25 to 30 concerts yearly. In addition to our standard venues, the Chorale also enjoys performing at the Phoenix Veterans Home every summer and was honored to sing at the Gilbert Constitution Day Celebration and at the Fiesta Mall. Our annual Christmas concerts at Crossroads Nazarene Church in Chandler and at the Mesa Regal RV Park are the highlight of the year; these events include full orchestral accompaniment.

The Chorale repertoire includes Hymns, Light Classical, and Contemporary Christian arrangements. We have recorded six CDs and our music is available to stream or download for listeners worldwide.
