SUMMARY:NIGHT RANGER with SPECIAL GUEST BAD MEDICINE: TRIBUTE TO BON JOVI
DESCRIPTION:Having sold over 17 Million albums worldwide\, performed across more than 4000 stages\, and captivated a radio audience that exceeds 1 Billion\, Night Ranger has both epitomized and transcended the arena rock sound and style well beyond that era. The band continue to grow their ever-evolving fan-base and they are proof that powerful songs alongside\, incredibly talented musicians is the perfect formula for continued success. Night Ranger has earned widespread recognition that includes both multi-platinum and gold album status all while leaving their indelible mark on the music industry with a long list of best-selling albums (Dawn Patrol\, Midnight Madness\, 7 Wishes\, Big Life and Man In Motion). Their popularity is fueled by an impressive number of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks. Over the years\, the band’s music has made notable contributions to and been featured in many different areas of global media and pop culture. Night Ranger was one of the first big “video” bands on MTV\, with over ten #1 hit videos. Night Ranger is Jack Blades (bass\, vocals)\, Kelly Keagy (drums\, vocals)\, Brad Gillis (lead & rhythm guitars)\, Eric Levy (keyboards) and Keri Kelli (lead & rhythm guitars). Notable hits include “Sister Christian\,” “(You Can Still) Rock In America\,” and “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” among many others. \nBad Medicine was formed and led by lifelong Bon Jovi fan\, Joe Frasca\, back in 2001. Through the years\, the talented collection of musicians\, with over 100+ combined years of on stage experience\, has proven time and time again that Bad Medicine is truly the “next best thing”. In recent years\, Bad Medicine has added several “non-Jovi” songs from the same genre\, for those longer sets and situations that require a more diverse performance. However\, Bad Medicine remains the favorite choice for Bon Jovi and is still true to giving tribute to one of the most iconic and successful bands in history. Bad Medicine has opened up for several national acts including Eddie Money\, Great White\, Lita Ford\, Bret Michaels (on numerous occasions)\, Foghat\, Blue Oyster Cult\, George Thorogood\, Rick Springfield\, and more.  If you want to see an accurate reproduction of the Bon Jovi sound\, look\, feel\, and energy\, it’s safe to say some Bad Medicine is what you need… \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:THE SMITHEREENS with SPECIAL GUESTS VICKI PETERSON and JOHN COWSILL
DESCRIPTION:THE SMITHEREENS have earned a reputation as one of America’s most enduring rock bands. Founding members Pat DiNizio (vocals/guitar)\, Jim Babjak (guitar/vocals)\, Mike Mesaros (bass/vocals)\, and Dennis Diken (drums/vocals) built a distinctive sound rooted in the melodic punch of the British Invasion\, fused with the raw energy of American garage rock. The band’s breakthrough came with the 1986 release of Especially for You\, featuring the modern rock classics “Blood and Roses” and “Behind the Wall of Sleep.” Critical acclaim and radio success soon followed with Green Thoughts (1988) and 11 (1989)\, albums that delivered charting singles including “Only a Memory\,” “A Girl Like You\,” and “Too Much Passion.” Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s\, The Smithereens became fixtures on MTV\, college radio\, and mainstream rock stations\, while touring extensively with artists such as Tom Petty\, Lou Reed\, and The Pretenders. Following the passing of frontman Pat DiNizio in 2017\, Babjak\, Mesaros\, and Diken made the decision to honor his memory by continuing to perform and record. Joined by guest vocalists such as Robin Wilson (Gin Blossoms)\, John Cowsill (from the Cowsills & Beach Boys) and Marshall Crenshaw\, the band continues to bring their celebrated songs to both longtime fans and new generations. \nVICKI PETERSON and JOHN COWSILL have been married for 22 years and playing music together for…maybe two. Vicki is a founding member of the 1980’s group The Bangles\, one of the most successful bands of that decade with over 6 million gold and platinum albums sold. In the 90’s\, she became a member of critically acclaimed Americana band The Continental Drifters and remains with them today. The Bangles reunited in the 21st century to release four more albums\, including a collection of rarities\, and a collaboration with the Los Angeles bands Dream Syndicate\, Rain Parade and the Three O’Clock. John began working in clubs\, singing and playing drums with his brothers when he was seven years old. The band grew to include their mother and little sister and The Cowsills became a sensation in the late 1960’s\, enjoying several Top 20 hits. In 1981 John did some session work\, landing on the Tommy Tutone hit\, “867-5309 (Jenny)” and recorded and toured with Dwight Twilley. He also toured with Jan and Dean before becoming a mainstay of the Beach Boys touring band\, playing guitar\, piano\, and finally sitting at the drum kit for over 20 years. \nBuy Now
