Feinstein's at the Nikko is thrilled to welcome the COMPANY MEN, America's favorite mashup group, for two performances only. Interweaving hits from the last six decades of music, the COMPANY MEN have created a show like no other, moving seamlessly between the greatest classic hits and Top 40 on the radio today. Hear Michael Jackson mashed with the Temptations, Katy Perry mixed with The Four Tops, Bruno Mars with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and many more. They have gone even further with this mashup concept by creating throwbackPOP, original music with a current sound and strong roots in yesterday's chart hits, and in October 2014, launched their first national U.S. tour to packed houses across the country.

Daniel, Shawn, Stuart and Brian define today's modern gentleman, bringing their unique mashups and throwbackPOP to audiences of all generations. The COMPANY MEN have shared the stage with Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan, Jesse Campbell (The Voice) and Kool and the Gang and have performed for music legends Quincy Jones and Berry Gordy. In addition, the COMPANY MEN have been featured nationwide in numerous television, radio, magazine, and online spots. Whether it be an intimate club, a performing arts center, an outdoor festival or even accompanied by a symphony orchestra, the COMPANY MEN have done it - from Club Nokia at LA Live to Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. They held a residency at the iconic Key Club on the Sunset Strip and continue to give explosive new meaning to words like "modern twist" and "old school charm." They truly are Today's Modern Rat Pack.
