Let?s Hang On will perform at the Northeast Texas Community College campus in the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on October 11 at 7:30 p.m. Billed as the nation's most popular Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons Tribute show, you will hear the story of these blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks who wrote their own songs, invented their own sound, and took the world by storm all before the age of 30.
