The DC Traveler

Since 1972, Grammy winning doo-wop jazz and A Cappella singing quartet, the Manhattan Transfer has been delighting audiences with their unique blend of cool and at times sophisticated campy bebop, fusion, jazz and pop.

On June 6th, you can see them perform free at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage 11th Anniversary.

Here’s one of their signature tunes - Birdland.

And another unique interpretation - Twilight Zone.
