Johnny Angel & The Halos is one of the Pittsburgh area's most legendary acts. The band traces its history back 40 years, when the original members sang a capella on the street corners of the North Side. Since then, the band has undergone many changes in membership and has performed with many of the greatest names of the 1950s, '60s and '70s, including Frankie Valli, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles to name a few. Today, composed of 10 gifted singers/musicians, the band is known for its magnificent harmonies and high-energy, entertaining performances.
