Lake Michigan College Mendel Center

Two of the biggest Stars of the Sixties are coming to Benton Harbor for one night only!  Jay & the Americans will take the stage singing all their hits... “This Magic Moment”, “Cara Mia”, “Come a Little Bit Closer”, “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Walkin’ in the Rain”, “Only in America”, “She Cried”, “Let’s Lock the Door (And Throw Away the Key)” and more!  They will be joined by The Cyrkle, reunited after 50 years (“Red Rubber Ball”, “Turn Down Day”) and one of the hottest young singers on the scene today, Chris Ruggiero, who’ll be singing some of the greatest hits of the 1960s. If you’ve ever seen those late-night PBS-TV vintage rock and roll specials, you’ve probably seen Chris singing his heart out.  A Pop, Rock & Doo Wopp production.

As the State of Michigan enters the COVID-19 Recovery Phase, The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College is moving to a "masks suggested" policy versus the previous "masks required" policy of recent months. Specific events may still have required health-safety measures based on the artist or touring group's requirements. Visit specific event pages on The Mendel Center's web site or the day-of-event email sent out before each performance for information on COVID-19 precautions for individual events. The Mendel Center reserves the right to modify COVID-19 policies to comply with mandates or to help ensure the safety and well-being of its patrons should conditions change.

Please make the right choice and stay home if you are not feeling well.
