At a time when rock music was steeped in psychedelia and the bird of hard rock, Sha Na Na were one of the first bands to eagerly celebrate the sounds of rock & roll's first era, and they parlayed their straight-ahead 1950s rock & roll revivalism into a long and successful touring career. The group's image and style were unabashedly anachronistic, as they covered that decade's pop and doo wop standards, slicked their hair back in the greaser fashion, and dressed in flamboyant '50s costumes. Formed on a lark by a handful of Columbia University students, Sha Na Na's career was made when they appeared at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in 1969, winning over the crowd with a raucous version of "At the Hop," and they were a successful touring show band for decades afterward.
Members of Sha Na Na include, or have included, Henry Gross, Tim Butler, Scott Powell, Kal David, Buzz Campbell, Larry Packer, Elliott Randall, Glenn Jordan, Rob Leonard, Screamin' Scott Simon, and Donald York.
