These guys can still Doo Wop with the best of them. Catch Now and Then on Saturday at Penn's Landing.

Remember when music was all about, well, the music? Before Lady Gaga was nominated for nine Grammy's and people with actual talent were hitting it big. A time when people couldn't afford instruments and used only their voices to make music.

On Saturday, August 8, take a musical journey back in time at the Doo Wop Festival on the Grand Plaza at Penn's Landing where you can see some of the greatest names in Doo Wop on stage -- for FREE.

The festival, featuring groups like The Duprees, Cornerstone, Philadelphia Funk Authority, begins at 12:30 p.m.
