About
TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS IN CONCERT:
The bubblegum pop movement of the '60s wouldn't have been the same without the beloved tunes of Tommy James and the Shondells, whose prominent music took off during the height of the era. It's been almost 50 years since the release of their 1966 debut Hanky Panky, but the band is still impressing audiences across the nation with their expansive catalog of upbeat classics. His voice still on-point and smooth as ever, Tommy James and the gang hit the road once again for a nostalgia-heavy 2014 tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
After dabbling in several musical projects as a preteen, Tommy James recorded his first demo "Hanky Panky" under the formal name The Shondells in 1964. The song wasn't an initial hit, but it achieved popularity the following year when it was unearthed by a local dance promoter, launching Tommy and the Shondells onto the music radar. Their 1966 debut album Hanky Panky skyrocketed the title single to commercial success, landing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and garnering the band national attention. Seven more successful albums followed as Tommy and the Shondells racked up twelve Top 40 hits and another chart-topper, "Crimson and Clover." James set out on a solo venture in 1971, attaining success once more with 23 gold singles and nine gold and platinum-certified albums. Reunited in 2014, Tommy and the Shondells are ready to turn back the clock on a string of highly anticipated tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"What a fantastic show full of non-stop entertainment. The men were sensational with all their hits. They had on-tune harmonies and were very lively on stage."
"What a voice –Tommy James can sing, and he's an amazing performer and guitarist."
"This show was excellent! The best concert I have been to in a long time. Will go see him again when he comes back in town."

Rating: 4 out of 5 Beautiful Coranado Theater
by bck on 4/10/24Coronado Performing Arts Center - RockfordThe Rockford Coranado Theater is absolutely beautiful & within walking distance from the Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront. The Buckinghams were a great opening act, and I actually enjoyed their music more than the Shondells. My husband on the other hand was pleased with the Tommy James performance. I thought the Tommy James mingle in the audience was unneeded, because the concert then dragged on toward the end -- too loud, too long....
Rating: 5 out of 5 Buckinghams/Tommy James
by Jackie on 4/10/24Coronado Performing Arts Center - RockfordThe Buckinghams played first and they were terrific. Brought back so many memories! Great to sing along with the "oldies". Tommy James and The Shondells were also terrific. They put on a good show - just sang all their songs for us. A great time was had by all.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Tommy James and the Shondells
by Pat on 4/10/24We had a great time Saturday night at the Coronado watching the Buckinghams and Tommy James and the Shondells. Both bands were terrific. We had second row seats and we got to meet and shake hands with Tommy James as he made his way greeting the fans. It was a wonderful experience.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Tommy James and the Shondells were fabulous ... BUT
by Li on 4/10/24Coronado Performing Arts Center - RockfordWhat an awesome experience to be able to see this legend. WOW! Really took a step back in time! I give the Tommy James and the Shondells 5 STARS...BUT... Not sure if the lighting crew and sound engineer were part of Tommy James and the Shondells or if they were from the Coronado theater in Rockford, IL - They did NOT KNOW what they were doing or how to even highlight the singers on stage - spot lights were not consistent with the performers. Sound WAS AWFUL!!! microphone feedback and imbalanced sound......
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not so good

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great concert
by Missmyra on 4/9/24Coronado Performing Arts Center - RockfordLoved the opening show, the Buckinghams! Tommy James and the Shondells were awesome, too. We truly loved the total concert experience as the Coronado theater is so beautiful and good seating. Will definitely return for more shows!
Rating: 4 out of 5 We were excited at first, but dissatisfied afterwards.
by Susan on 4/9/24Coronado Performing Arts Center - RockfordWe were excited at first, but disappointed by the end because the music was too loud and we couldn’t hear the words to the songs. And also by 9 o’clock instead of singing more of his songs, he was shaking hands with people in the front row. He could’ve done that between sets or at the end of the night. Unfortunately that didn’t happen.
