On Wednesday July 17, The Smooth Cruise sets sail with The Stylistics!
We are pleased to open our 2019 Smooth Cruise season with The Stylistics. It’s our Opening night on The Spirit of New York. Our last full season on spirit was 2013 and we’re excited to be back. This is the line-up that features original members Arrion Love and Herbert Murrell with Jason Sharp, and now Grammy award winner Bo Henderson. Bo performed with The Dramatics and Lakeside before becoming lead singer of the Temptations in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. And they tore it up at their Beacon Theatre show earlier this year.
We are fortunate to be able to present The Stylistics in this up-close setting and fun atmosphere.

On Wednesday August 7, The Smooth Cruise sets sail with Summer Soul Jam featuring Blue Magic, Heatwave & The Blue Notes!
August 7 will feature nothing but hits from some of the biggest and most influential recording artists in history. The Blue Notes, Heatwave, and Blue Magic perform sold out theater shows around the world.
The Blue Notes have had a seemingly endless river of hits including “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, “Wake Up Everybody” and “Don’t Leave Me This Way”, which Thelma Houston took to number one on the pop charts. Credited with introducing the great Teddy Pendergrass to the world, the Blue Notes are one of the most revered and influential of the Phillie Soul groups.
Heatwave had three top ten hits with “Always and Forever” (#2), “Boogie Nights” (#2), and “The Groove Line” (#7).
Blue Magic, another one of the most popular Phillie Soul groups of the 1970’s, had had a top ten hit “Sideshow” #8, and R&B hits with “Three Ring Circus” and “What’s Come Over Me”.
