The Four Freshmen live in Minneapolis

Experience The Four Freshmen live on September 16th

The Four Freshmen are scheduled to perform at Crooners Lounge And Supper Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 16, 2026. The group is historically recognized as pioneers of vocal jazz, known for their intricate harmonies, sophisticated arrangements, and a distinctive close-harmony sound often employing layered vocal percussion – a style that significantly influenced later vocal groups. Originally formed in 1948 at Butler University in Indiana, The Four Freshmen have undergone numerous personnel changes while maintaining a commitment to their signature sound across decades. Their repertoire spans standards, original compositions, and arrangements showcasing their vocal prowess.

Crooners Lounge And Supper Club is a venue designed to evoke the ambiance of classic mid-century modern supper clubs. Opened in 2019, it features multiple performance spaces including the intimate Main Room where The Four Freshmen will be appearing, along with the larger Dunes Ballroom and outdoor patio areas. The club focuses on presenting live music – particularly jazz, cabaret and American standards – alongside a full dining experience. It aims to recreate the atmosphere of entertainment venues popular in the 1940s-1960s offering both dinner and show options.
