The Oak Ridge Boys- Live at the Florida Strawberry Festival (02/29/2024)

Hey guys. So after seeing the Oak Ridge Boys for the first time back in January of last year at the Villages, I finally had the opportunity to see them again for the second (but sadly last) time as part of their “American Made” Farewell Tour. So the biggest (and only) disappointment about this concert was that Duane Allen was unable to be there due to family business. With that being said, I’d be completely lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy and cherish this show. So because Duane was unable to show up for this concert, Woody Wright (who’s best known for his appearances with Bill Gaither) was called to fill in for the occasion. I think he did a really good job filling in for Duane, his voice was definitely suitable for playing its part in those Oak Ridge Boy harmonies. Speaking of harmonies, those were also very solid throughout most of the show, with all four of the guys doing what they do best. This was also my first time seeing Ben James, who replaced Joe Bonsall on tenor after he announced his retirement back in January. I gotta say that he did a really good job as well, singing those high parts the same way Joe would, he definitely deserves recognition for being able to fill in for a tenor like Joe, while also making it his own at the same time. Of course it was great seeing William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban again, both of which I think sounded really good for this concert (like they always do). William still played his part very solidly throughout the show (which is especially impressive given his age of 85 years old). Last but not least we have Richard. Last time I saw the Oaks, Richard wasn’t doing too well due to an unfortunate arm injury. Because of that, he didn’t exactly do a whole lot of lead singing (besides Elvira) and you couldn’t hear him as well as the others. However with this concert, it’s the complete opposite since Richard is doing much better now and it definitely showed in his singing. Dream On is the biggest example of that in my opinion, but Richard sang exceptionally well throughout the show. All in all, I had such a great time seeing them again, despite the fact that this will most likely be the last time I’ll get to see them so it’s a fairly bittersweet experience at the same time. With that being said, I gotta give a shoutout to Joe, Duane, William, and Richard, for all the wonderful music they’ve made over the years. Also a shoutout to Ben James and Woody Wright for filling in for Joe and Duane respectively, you guys are great as well. If any of you guys see this video, all I can say is thank you for everything.
