Electric Youth and the Boston Showband are scheduled to tour again this summer bringing timeless hits and non-stop entertainment to venues across Europe. Before they take the stage in Europe, the group will return to their home venue, THE BLACK BOX, in downtown Franklin on May 2nd, 2026 at 7:30PM.
Electric Youth delivers high-energy, fully choreographed performances of classic rock, contemporary pop, Broadway, and country music hits for audiences of all ages. The American touring ensemble of 11 talented singer-dancers, ages 14-18, is backed by the eight-piece Boston Show Band — world class musicians who’ve worked with music legends.
Electric Youth is trained at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts. The group has toured Europe performing in such renowned venues as Vienna’s Konzerthaus, Musikverein and Schonbrunn Palace; Sanremo’s Ariston Theatre; England’s Arundel Festival; Disneyland Paris; and professional theatres in Bristol, London and Windsor. EY has also headlined Fourth of July shows for U.S. troops stationed in Italy at Camp Ederle, Camp Darby, and Aviano Air Force Base. The ensemble has performed on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, on TV, and at Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, the Smithsonian Museum Theater, the United Nations, and the U.S. Embassy in Vienna.
Electric Youth has released six albums, including 2014’s Power Chord, available on Apple Music. They’ve recorded and released five a cappella singles arranged and edited by Jim Hogan of a cappella sensation T.3 (available on all streaming platforms) with another to be released this summer.
Collectively, the members of Electric Youth 2026 have performed with Broadway stars, sung the National Anthem for Boston sports teams, been selected to perform at “Broadway Sessions” in NYC, worked with choreographers from So You Think You Can Dance, and more. Alumni of Electric Youth have gone on to appear on Broadway, in national and international tours, television, regional theater, feature film, professional dance companies, cruise ships, and more. Electric Youth 2026 includes Owen Charles, Ani Corkran, Helena Cornwell, Brodie DeAngelis, Baree Frigon, Hailey Hulbig, Alina Kanakry, Walker Leone, Liam Nolan-Hayun, Matthew Packard, and Julia Santos.
