GEORGE THOROGOOD and THE DESTROYERS – “Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock”
On the evening of December 1st, 1973 at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first. “Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance floor all at once.” “We had the place rockin’,” Thorogood says. “From that very first show, Jeff and I knew we were onto something.” Five decades, 15 million albums and more than 8,000 performances later, few bands can still rock the house like George Thorogood & Destroyers. And for Thorogood, Simon, and long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler and Buddy Leach, their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will be a celebration like no other. But when asked to pick a career highlight, maybe one night over the past half century that changed everything for George Thorogood & The Destroyers, he shakes his head, flashes a huge grin and heads off to soundcheck. “My highlight is when I step on that bandstand,” Thorogood says. “The promoters invited us, the fans came to hear us, and we’re ready to rock. Every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”YouTube Video

REO Speedwagon
Formed in 1967, signed in 1971, and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon’s unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. Platinum albums and radio staples soon followed, setting the stage for the release of the band’s explosive Hi Infidelity in 1980, which contained the massive hit singles “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.” That landmark album spent 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot and has since earned the RIAA’s coveted 10X Diamond Award for surpassing sales of 10 million units in the United States. From 1977 to 1989, REO Speedwagon released nine consecutive albums all certified Platinum or higher. Today, REO Speedwagon has sold more than 40 million albums around the globe, and Cronin and bandmates Bruce Hall (bass), Dave Amato (guitar), and Bryan Hitt (drums) are still electrifying audiences worldwide in concert with hits and fan-favorites such as “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Time For Me To Fly,” “Roll With The Changes,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Take It On the Run,” and many, many more. Charlie FarrenBoston Rock Legend CHARLIE FARREN has long been known for great songs, great singing, and for outstanding live performances. Currently touring solo acoustic, Farren captures the audience with his unique delivery, insightful lyrics, soaring vocal, and distinctively intricate, ‘Full Band’ guitar style that distinguishes him among the country’s elite musical artists. Farren burst onto the national scene in the early 80’s as lead singer of THE JOE PERRYPROJECT, teaming up with Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry and releasing an acclaimed album on Columbia Records. Farren penned the Billboard charting classics “Listen To The Rock” and “East Coast, West Coast”, also co-writing four songs with Perry including the hit “I’ve Got The Rock ‘N’ Rolls Again”.As lead singer & rhythm guitarist of The Joe Perry Project, Farren established himself as one of the hottest young singers to emerge from the Boston music scene. The Joe Perry Project sold out venues throughout the country and toured North America with artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Heart, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper and Rush.In 1986 Farren formed FARRENHEIT, releasing a self-titled debut album on Warner Brothers, produced by Keith Olsen. Three singles from that album, “Fool in Love”, “Bad Habit”, & “Lost in Loveland”, as well as video exposure on MTV, established FARRENHEIT as one of the premier new rock acts. FARRENHEIT landed the coveted opening slot on the 75 date BOSTON ‘Third Stage Tour’ – sold out from coast to coast, and performed at the 1987 “Texxas Jam” to a sold out crowd of 85,000 people at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Charlie Farren has appeared on Bad Company’s 1986 LP “Fame and Fortune”, Nona Hendryx’s1985 RCA album “The Heat”, Peter Wolf’s 1996 CD “Long Line”, as well as Joey McIntyre’s1999 release “Stay the Same” .Now working on what will be his 17th release, Farren has been described as contagious, displaying a candor rarely demonstrated by former arena rock stars. “It’s clear he has not lost the ability to captivate a room full of people no matter what the size,” writes Tom Dempsey of Sound Check magazine. His live solo performances remain the perfect forum for his remarkable talents. Charlie Farren continues to be one of America’s most original and compelling musical artists. He takes the stage alone – and leaves the stage with a roomful of new believers
An Evening with YACHTLEY CREW
For those unfamiliar with the concept, “Yacht Rock” is a fairly recently coined term for the revival of the soft rock and power ballad hits of the late 70’s to the early 80’s. And while yes, a lot of it is overwrought story-driven narrative, the music itself is still a guilty pleasure to listen to, watch and sing along! Although just about everyone appreciates how ridiculous it is to sing along at the top of your lungs to “Brandy”, “Africa” or “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”, it is a perfect example of the rediscovery of this era in music. Yachtley Crew, also know as, “The Titans of Soft Rock”, will reel you in with not only their great sound but also their silly and fun antics as they perform these timeless soft rock hits by Christopher Cross to Hall & Oates to Toto and more! By being the first to have fun themselves with their heightened ironic songs, they keep it light enough to amuse the younger members of the crowd but respectful enough for those who remember singing along to all these hits on AM radio back in the day to enjoy, too! You will love the look of their thematic nautical suits and highly entertaining, cheeky, self-aware choreography. Be sure to catch this one of a kind show when the Yachtley Crew Pleasure Cruise docks in a port near you!
