  The Charlie Daniels Band

  Thursday, March 28, 2019

  From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 80, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need.

  George Thorogood & The Destroyers

  Thursday, April 25, 2019

  Since 1975, they’ve sold over 15 million albums, built a classic catalog of hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows.  They broke records with their 50 Dates/50 States tour, delivered landmark performance at Live Aid and on SNL, and became mainstays of radio, MTV and stages worldwide for more than two generations.  Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and consistently passionate – progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history.

  It’s on stage that George & The Destroyers flip the switch nightly, delivered what The Toledo Blade calls a “gut-bustin’, guitar-wailin’, face-meltin’, fiery-tempoed, take-no-prisoners, good old-fashioned lunch-bucket rock & roll show” that includes their signature hits “Get A Haircut,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Bad To The Bone” and many more.  But after 45 years of rock – and no signs of stopping – their Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years Of Rock will prove why it’s been very good to George Thorogood & The Destroyers.

  Loverboy

  Thursday, May 9, 2019

  For more than 30 years, Loverboy has been “Working for the Weekend” (and on weekends), delighting audiences around the world since forming in 1978, when vocalist Mike Reno was introduced to guitar hot shot Paul Dean-both veterans of several bands on the Canadian scene.  After being rejected by all the major US record companies, Loverboy signed with Columbia Records Canada and recorded their self-titled debut album, which went to sell more than 700K records in Canada.  Columbia US released the same album in November 1980, which went to sell more than 2 million albums in the States and 4 million worldwide.

  With their trademark red leather pants, bandanas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling Get Lucky, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983’s Keep It Up and 1985’s Lovin’ Every Minute of It.
