Formats
Three Men and a Tenor works for all audiences that love singing together, laughing together and are looking to enjoy their night out.
| Format | Runs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 45 minutes | 45 min | Corporate programs, after-dinner slots, conference sessions, festival stage slots |
| 60 minutes | 60 min | A fuller single set includes a larger blend of music if time allows it |
| 75 minutes straight through | 75 min, no break | Evening programs that builds up to a big ending - no intermission |
| 90 minutes straight through | 90 min, no break | A full evening in one continuous performance |
| Two 45-minute sets | 90 min + intermission | The standard performing arts center evening —mostly what the group performs in the summer shows for the fairs, festivals, and big community concerts. |
Two forty five minute sets with a 15 minute intermission and time for an encore or extra songs the crowd created by the reactions to the show. This is the most popular way the group goes into performing arts centers, main stage concerts, fairs and festivals.
Where it works
Fairs and festivals
Main stage and grandstand. The show has carried outdoor audiences of 1,000 to 2,000 on its own PA, and the show carries the large festival stages. In 2026 the fairs and festivals that booked this show asked for two 45-minute sets, and it worked perfectly.
Performing arts centers and theatres
A full evening in the standard two-set format, with an anniversary hook your marketing team can actually use locally. 37 Michigan performing arts centers have booked this group — it is not easy to impress those that book entertainment all year long - if this group was hired by this many different venues, you can trust that they must have done the job and sold the tickets.
Conventions and conferences
General sessions, opening and closing events, and awards nights. A 45-minute set fits a program to keep people from leaving early and enjoy sharing their time together.
Corporate entertainment
Holiday parties, client events and leadership meetings. Clean content, big popular songs, and a presentation that brings your groups together.
Review from a large Michigan Community Fair
What a newspaper reviewer said about the 3MT show
The Sun Times News covered the show at the Saline Community Fair on 30 August 2025 — hear thoughts about the show, song selection, and impressions from the group in general. 3MT is just an overall crowd pleasing show.
“Whether singing classic songs everyone knew or tributes to the men and women in the military, the guys sang from their hearts.”
The Sun Times News
“The stunning, emotional highlight of the night.”
The Sun Times News, on “A Hero’s Prayer”
On opening for Jay Leno on part of his West Coast tour, the paper reported Leno’s reason for picking the group: “Being from Michigan, I knew I would be hearing some Motown.”
The two-act show
What a night actually looks like
This is the Saline Fair program, as it ran — one hour and forty-five minutes across two acts. For all fair presenters, don't take a chance on an act - book who others trusted and won their audiences over.
First Set — Warm up the crowd and never let them go
Opens up-tempo with songs the audience already knows. A choreographed Motown turn on “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg.” A classic country medley from the bass. A full-crowd sing-along on “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
Closes on “A Hero’s Prayer” — written by a Vietnam-era Navy veteran for the people he served with. It is the moment the room goes quiet.
Second Set — Deliver respect, veterans salute, then send them home singing
Opens with a salute to the four service branches, veterans of each asked to stand and be recognized. Then “In Color,” “America The Beautiful,” and a run through the songbook — Jimmy Dean, and “The Rainbow Connection” from the tenor.
Ends on “Sweet Caroline” and “God Bless The U.S.A.” with the crowd on its feet.
The Salute to the Services segment can be built up or left out depending on your event. It is a natural fit for Memorial Day, Independence Day, veterans programming and county fairs.
