Sock Hop is a 12 member band made up of musicians from the Windjammer Jazz Orchestra and the Skylarks Octet, part of the Littleton Community Music Association. Vocalists include Charles King and Emily Nelson Musser performing songs of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Dean Martin, Roy Orbison with Rob Carlson and Jim Donaldson performing as the Blues Brothers.

Charles King, a versatile performer with extensive experience coast to coast singing with bands and as a solo artist, has joined the Windjammers Jazz Orchestra. In 1989, Charles King left "legitimate" theatre and ventured into a career that would take him from Las Vegas to Rome, Italy, to cruise ships and a private performance for the President of The United States. Drawing upon over 20 years of musical training, character development and a natural talent he is comfortable as Frank Sinatra, as Elvis, and of course, Dean Martin.

Emily Nelson Musser has performed for over 25 years with a variety of area groups including the Castle Rock Orchestra, The Skylarks and Harmony Chorale. Before moving to Colorado, Emily sang with the Dallas Symphony Chorus. She loves musical theatre and recently performed in the Stagedoor Theatre productions of “Nunsense” as Sister Mary Leo and as Luisa in “The Fantasticks.”
