The Association are coming to The Newton Theatre on the heels of their 2018 tour that sold out venues across the U.S. and featured The Association sharing the stage with greats like Three Dog Night, The Turtles, and The Cowsills. The Association Fans will rejoice to hear the songs they love such as “Windy”, “Cherish”, "Along Comes Mary" and many, many more. 

The Association has also received RIAA certifications for 6 gold and 3 platinum records. Their album, THE ASSOCIATION GREATEST HITS (Warner Brothers) is now double platinum and continues to be one of the longest best-selling albums in the history of the company.
