Made In Brooklyn: Florida doo wop pair embraces Brooklyn roots
Husband and wife duo perform in Florida
Rick and Lisa Howard, both Brooklyn natives, have been married for 22 years and performed together since 1984. For the past eight years, they have lived in Naples, Florida and performed as the popular duo Made In Brooklyn.
Since moving to Florida in 2006, they have become a group that is very much in demand and have performed on a regular basis in literally hundreds of clubs, taverns, hotels and restaurants in the area.
During performances, both sing while Rick plays his live guitar with tracks. They perform a wide range of music, depending on the venue, but like to focus on the popular music that featured vocal harmony in many hits from the late 50s and early 60s. Their audiences tend to be Baby Boomers who grew up with, and still get energized by, that music.
