Dance and romance music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. A showcase of doo wop and classic soul vocal harmonies.

“Get Up and Dance”- Swing, Boogie, Twist, Slop, Mashed Potatoes, Boogaloo, Cha-Cha and even Slow Drag. Take a trip down memory lane with Richmond, Virginia’s quintessential oldies vocal group, “Bak N Da Day”. The group consists of bass and founder, Russell Bennett; baritone, Anthony Harris; 2 nd tenor Booker Chambers, and 1 st tenors, Dennis Coleman and Michael Lemon. The group was founded in 1999. It was Bennett’s desire to fulfill a long time dream of singing with an aggregation of colleagues and friends who have fun crooning those evergreens from a time when you could “understand the words”. They draw their material from a repertoire of close to 150 songs, spanning the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. These guys are masters of vocal group harmony, encompassing several musical genres including Doo- Wop, Motown and Philly Soul. They are able to replicate a variety of sounds primarily due to the fact that each member is proficient at singing lead.

The group has a dynamic sound and has quite a reputation for being sharp dressers with slick routines. They have performed at many events, hotels and clubs in and around Richmond.. They have opened for acts such as, Howard Hewitt, Stephanie Mills and the O’Jays. Bak N Da Day is just as comfortable rendering romance ballads by the Flamingos, Skyliners, and the Five Satins as they are with raucus ditties, such as “Tossin and Turnin” (Bobby Lewis). Their grasp of Motown ranges from the sounds of the Temptations and the Miracles to the Four Tops and Jimmy Ruffin with a little Lionel Richie and the Commodores thrown in. They’ll have you swooning to the Stylistics, Delfonics and Spinners or getting up to shag to The Intrigues,”In a Moment”.
