Rock & Roll doo-wop legends, SHA NA NA combined their love for the classics of rock & roll with a dynamic theatrical approach as fellow college students at Columbia University in New York in 1969. They appeared just before Jimi Hendrix forty-five years ago at The Woodstock Festival in only their eighth professional gig (of course the check bounced).
The band rose to stardom with their portrayal of Johnny Casino and the Gamblers in the movie Grease - the highest grossing musical film of all-time - and with four seasons of their own worldwide television series, The Sha Na Na Na Show. SHA NA NA performed six songs on the Grease soundtrack and the song “Sandy,” sung by John Travolta, was co-written by the band’s piano man Screamin’ Scott Simon.
SHA NA NA knows two things for sure: Rock & Roll is here to stay and Grease is still the Word!
