Musical moments

Longtime Boca Raton hitmaker performs tonight at Wick.

Boca Raton resident and hit maker Charles Calello has worked for superstars such as Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Glen Campbell and the Four Seasons.

In fact, Calello was there at the very beginning of the Four Seasons as a member of Frankie Valli’s first group, the Four Lovers. Callelo went on to serve as the arranger for the Four Seasons’ biggest hits in the 1960s. Later he pulled double duty as the band’s bassist, switching places with Nick Massi (who, coincidentally, was Calello’s replacement in the Four Lovers). Calello’s path in showbiz took off from there as a composer, conductor, arranger and record producer for a long list of recording stars.

Now he shares his story in a one-night-only concert titled “The Legendary Hit Maker Charles Calello” tonight at Boca Raton’s Wick Theatre. He will perform the song book of hits he’s been involved with over four decades, including “Sweet Caroline” and “Let’s Hang On.”

“The Legendary Hit Maker Charles Calello” starts at 8 tonight at the Wick Theatre, 7901 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton. Tickets are $75 and $85. To order, call 561-995-2333 or go to TheWick.org.
