The Four Freshmen Group Bios The Four Freshmen group bios BOB FERREIRA auditioned for The Four Freshmen in 1992 for bass voice and percussion,while a music student at Central Washington University. The group asked Ferreira to join, presenting him with a difficult decision of whether or not to leave his academics behind in lieu of a career in entertainment. Bob is still pleased with his decision and has not looked back since. H enjoys being part of such an iconic musical legacy having performed in fifty states, ten countries, and on nine Freshmen recordings. When not on the road with The Four Freshmen, Ferreira occasionally freelances as a drummer in Las Vegas. TOMMY BOYNTON is the newest member of The Four Freshmen, singing 1st tenor and playing bass. Growing up in Aurora, Co., his musical journey began in the 3rd grade, singing in a children’s chorus, and studying piano and drums. Tommy’s love for music lead him to Phil Mattson’s prestigious School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa. He then graduated from the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA, where he studied with Dominique Eade and Ran Blake. Boynton continued to share his love and passion for music by returning to SMV to teach. Tommy has shared the stage with several Grammy nominated musicians, including jazz pianist Fred Hersch, and critically acclaimed jazz vocalist Kate McGarry. While on the road, he does miss his kitties, Alice and Little Brother, more than anything. STEIN MALVEY sings the 2nd tenor and plays guitar with The Four Freshmen. He began his musical journey at age four, studying piano at St. Olaf College in his hometown of Northfield, MN. Growing restless with classical repertoire, he discovered guitar at age 12, and fell in love. Just two years later he was playing guitar professionally. He graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in guitar performance from Lawrence University Conservatory of Music. Stein spent years in both the New York and Minneapolis music scenes, recording and touring with groups in many genres: rock, pop, r&b, soul, funk, jazz, country, and avant-garde. When he isn’t touring with The Four Freshmen, Stein lives in Los Angeles. CURTIS CALDERON was born and raised in San Antonio. He joined the Four Freshmen in 2001 and has loved every minute of playing for audiences throughout the US and world.

After high school he continued right on and toured with various big bands including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He sings Baritone and plays trumpet/flugelhorn with The Four Freshmen.

Their tight-knit sound inspired The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, The Mamas & The Papas, Frankie Valli and the Manhattan Transfer. It all started in 1948, when four college freshmen crafted a unique style of vocal harmony that soon caught the ear of the great bandleader Stan Kenton. Kenton was responsible for bringing the Freshmen to Capitol Records, where they would eventually record 23 albums, thrusting them into the national spotlight. In 65 years, The Freshmen have recorded over 75 albums, 70 top selling singles, and received 6 Grammy Nominations. The four have toured constantly since their inception, continuing to perform to sold out audiences around the globe. As the faces changed through the years, the integrity of the sound created by the original guys has been meticulously maintained. Die-hard fans and former members alike have agreed that the current lineup; Bob Ferreira, Tommy Boynton, Stein Malvey and Curtis Calderon, are second to none. While paying tribute to such classic Freshmen favorites as “Day By Day” and “Blue World,” the current group also continues to bring new arrangements to their live shows and recordings. Their latest endeavor, “Live at the Franklin Theatre”, features the audience Favorites like “Route 66”, “Graduation Day” and “Poinciana”. The Freshmen shine on brand new arrangements of “Give Me The Simple Life” and “Now You Know”. As four amazing musical talents, their show is one not to be missed!

While the last original member retired more than 20 years ago, the current incarnation of the group still travels the country that includes a stop at the Redondo Union High Auditorium on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The jazz vocal band was an inspiration for groups like The Beach Boys and The Manhattan Transfer.

He was mentored by Flanagan, who stayed with the group in a managerial and ownership capacity until his death in 2011, and drummer and baritone Ross Barber, who retired from The Four Freshmen in the 1970s but continued to be a supporter of the group. “When I got the opportunity to audition, playing drums and singing, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s great,” Ferreira said. “Of course, it’s such an iconic group, for a 22-year-old, that’s quite an amazing thing and I guess one of those landmark moments in one’s life when you are able to land a job that is something you love to do. I was very fortunate and still feel fortunate to be doing it for this long.” Two days after their performance in Redondo, they will record their concert at the Newport Beach Marriott, a show, like the one in Redondo, that features classics and new material. Ferreira said The Four Freshmen is like “constant car maintenance.” “What we do is so unique. There are hardly any vocal groups out there who sing four-part vocal harmony, especially the intricate harmony that we sing, but also play instruments at the same time,” Ferreira said.

  • 1 Music 262: Rock Music, History and Social Analysis, Beach Boys
    Music 262: Rock Music, History and Social Analysis, Beach Boys [Music Playing on Piano] [Brian Ward]: So we have this group from America that comes out of surf rock and they also borrow from some jazz vocal traditions and they really are America’s answer to The Beatles. Because they came around at the same time The Beatles hit the market. Both of these groups are symbiotic. They have this sympathetic relationship. They feed off of each other and they compete with each other, The Beatles and The Beach Boys. The result of that is all this great music. Let’s talk about The Beach Boys for a minute. It’s really a family affair. We have these brothers: Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson. They have their cousin, Mike Love and their neighbor Alan Jardine who plays drums. Their songs are about the beach, paradise, cars, hot rods, California girls. So there’s this theme of California in all of their music and this lifestyle and that’s where they’re from. Their music is a combination of this jazz group called The Four Freshmen. It was a jazz vocal group that sang in really close four part harmony. Brian Wilson just loved this group and he pattern The Beach Boys’ vocal harmonies after this jazz group called The Four Freshmen. Another big part of their music is this surf style that was around them as they were developing as a band. So they adopted this surf style of rock n’ roll, of guitar driven instrumental rock. So you combine these two things, these beautiful four part harmonies with the surf rock and you get The Beach Boys.
