SantaCroce family will entertain at Opera House Jan. 28

FRANKIN — The SantaCroce family will entertain at the Franklin Opera House on Saturday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m.

The group features six brothers and sisters with unsurpassed five-part harmony, and virtuoso guitar and mandolin skills and delights audiences with songs from the Mamas and Papas to Justin Beiber as well as some of their own songs.

Brittany, the oldest of the siblings has emerged as the leader of the group, singing and accompanying on mandolin. Next in line is Rebecca with very solid guitar and vocals, who also does her part in leading the group and mentoring her brothers and sisters. Olivia, James, Robert and Greg, who is the youngest member of the group is now accompanying on drums and percussion.

Originally from New York state, the family of ten children with parents Jim and Lorraine now call Sullivan, New Hampshire, their home.

Franklin Opera House Executive Director Steve Foley said that he was intrigued when he first heard about the group and decided to book them for a show. "When I actually saw them on stage and heard them sing, I was blown away, not only by their musical talent, but by the great warmth and energy that radiates from them when they sing. I can’t wait to hear the full concert,'' Foley said.
