“A tradition dating back to the Big Band Era.”

The Modernaires are celebrating over 80 years in show business. They had their beginning as a Trio in Buffalo, New York in 1935. Hal Dickinson, Chuck Goldstein and Bill Conway became a quartet when Ralph Brewster joined the group. They sang with the Ozzie Nelson, Fred Waring, and Paul Whiteman Bands, and their big break came when the legendary Glenn Miller asked them to join his orchestra in 1939.

In 1941 Paula Kelly joined the group, and they recorded some of their most memorable songs, like Juke Box Saturday Night, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Serenade in Blue, and countless others.

Hal Dickinson and Paula Kelly married, and their daughters are continuing "The Modernaires" tradition to the present day.
