The Holiday Hop Featuring Gunter’s Coasters,




Fans gelled together to take a holiday ride to the past to celebrate The Holiday Hop that took place at The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University, located in Illinois.

With non-stop performances, their songs were exactly like the audience remembered them on the radio nearly 50 years ago. The show was supported by Soul 106.3 FM.
