Foghat –

 “Slow Ride” “Fool for the City” “I Just Want to Make Love to You” “Third Time Lucky” “Drivin’ Wheel”       “Stone Blue” “Honey Hush” “Home in My Hand” “Road Fever” “Terraplane Blues”

 It’s been over 50 years since anyone had to ask: What’s a Foghat?”

The reason no one asks anymore is obvious.

Foghat is a band. In 2023, Foghat turned 52 years old. In November of this year, they will release a new album titled Sonic Mojo. They are still out on the road, traveling across the land and bringing their infectious boogie to packed houses full of adoring fans nearly every night. A Foghat concert is every bit as much fun and intense in 2023 as it was in 1977 when their classic multi-platinum album, Foghat Live broke them around the world. Looking back, it’s only fitting that it was a live album that made Foghat a household name. The band wouldn’t have it any other way.

Foghat continues to appeal to fans of all ages because their music is timeless. They play with an energy that perpetuates youthful exuberance, no matter how old they may be. This band loves to play music. This band lives to play music. Those in the audience, whether they discovered Foghat in the video game Guitar Hero III, from the movie Dazed & Confused, or they discovered them when they purchased their 1972 debut album, knows they are the real deal. That’s why a Foghat audience is so diverse, yet unified. Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers and Millennials and on down all come together with a single purpose when the band comes to town. They wanna boogie…and boogie they do!

For Foghat fans, the announcement that a new album titled Sonic Mojo will be released November 10 is no surprise. They’ve learned to expect new releases from this band. Sonic Mojo will be met with the same enthusiasm and excitement as their other recent releases which include 2010’s Last Train Home, 2016’s Under the Influence, 2017’s Live at the Belly Up and 2021’s 8 Days on the Road, which was recorded live at Daryl’s House Club in Pawling, NY. These releases join a long history of great music put out by the band.

Foghat began back in 1971 when Lonesome Dave Peverett and Roger Earl decided to leave Savoy Brown and start a band of their own. History has proven that this was a great decision. Over the years, Foghat has earned eight Gold Records, one Platinum Record and one Double-Platinum record. As with any band that survives for over five decades, there have been ups and downs, and tragedies and triumphs. Through it all, they moved ahead in one form or another for only one reason: The Music. For Foghat, it’s all about the music, always has been and always will be.

AJ Croce:

After 50 years and more than 50 million records sold, Jim Croce’s legacy as an iconic singer/songwriter is firmly cemented. A.J. Croce, a Billboard charting singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and performer, returns this fall, bringing Jim’s classic songs to the stage with his “Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary Tour.”  After 10 studio albums and 30 years of touring the world establishing his own career, in the early 2000’s, A.J. taught himself guitar and several of his father’s (Jim’s) classics. The fan response from dropping in a song or two like “Operator” in his own show was astounding and deeply emotional. He then debuted a concert that celebrated the legacy of his father’s songs, stories and music; as well as his own. The show featured two generations of Croce music and many songs by other artists which connect father and son as performers. Throughout the past seven years, A.J.’s “Croce Plays Croce” tour has sold out performing arts centers across America. In 2022, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Jim’s breakthrough album, You Don’t Mess Around With Jim, A.J. honored the memory of his father with a fall tour featuring a seven piece ensemble and a multimedia production.

A.J. is hitting the road again this year in celebration of two of Jim Croce’s legendary albums, 1973’s Life and Times, and his final release, I Got A Name;  in addition to songs from You Don’t Mess Around With Jim. The much-anticipated fall performances, “Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary Tour,” commences on October 27, coinciding with the October 13 release of The Definitive Croce collection

Guess Who Alumni

Join Carl Dixon, Bill Wallace, Laurie MacKenzie and Mark Santer (Guess Who alumni) as they share the music, hits and stories from THE GUESS WHO, in a two hour live theatre performance. Video shows snippets from the live show. Special guest Matt Young on keyboards. The band will play all the hits including ‘These Eyes,’ ‘American Woman,’ ‘No Sugar Tonight,’ No Time,” ‘Clap For The Wolfman,’ ‘Laughing,’ ‘Hand Me Down World,’ ‘Undun,’ and ‘Share The Land.’

CARL DIXON was lead singer of The Guess Who for eight years in total from 1997-2000 and then again in 2003-2008 but a shocking car accident in 2008 left Carl clinging to life. Incredibly Carl survived. He even rejoined The Guess Who for two special shows in 2016. His positivity and heart brings warmth, soul and power to the iconic Guess Who songs. Carl’s voice has been described by National Radio as one of Canada’s stellar rock voices. Now Carl is joined on stage by former band members of The Guess Who including Bill Wallace who wrote some of those famous Guess Who hits. It’s a night of great songs, the stories behind the hits and music by musicians playing true to the original Guess Who sound.

Al Jardine and his Endless Summer Band

Alan (aka “Al”) Jardine, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, is best known for being one of the founding members of the California-based group The Beach Boys.  Al was born in Lima, Ohio, on September 3, 1942 and met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and David Marks after his family moved to Hawthorne, California. Al played mainly rhythm guitar and sang harmony vocals with The Beach Boys and sang lead on their No. 1 hit “Help Me, Rhonda.” In 1988, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy along with the other Beach Boys.

In 2010, Al released his first studio album, A Postcard From California, which featured guest appearances from Neil Young, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Steve Miller, Glen Campbell, Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell (America) and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), plus all the remaining Beach Boys. The environmentally-themed album features Al’s originals “Don’t Fight The Sea,” “Looking Down The Coast” and “San Simeon” in addition to new versions of classic Beach Boys songs “Help Me, Rhonda” and “California Saga.” The album was rereleased to a worldwide audience in 2022 from Universal Music.

In 2023, Al continues to tour with his Endless Summer Band which includes his son Matt Jardine plus Debbie Shair (from the band Heart) and longtime Beach Boys backing band members Ed Carter and Bobby Figueroa. Matt has received rave reviews for his stunning lead vocals on songs like “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations,” “Don’t Worry Baby” and “Surf’s Up.” Al’s setlist includes all of the legendary hits of The Beach Boys including “Sloop John B,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” “California Girls,” “I Get Around,” “Surfin’ USA” and “Fun Fun Fun” plus the occasional rarity or deep cut. Al Jardine’s Family & Friends show has received amazing reviews over the years and is truly an event not to be missed!
