First off: On behalf of the entire General Motors Rockin' on the Riverfront staff, we would like to ask everyone to please keep friends and family of Tom Furtaw, guitarist from local band Spitting Nickels (opener at last week's Blue Oyster Cult concert), in their thoughts and prayers.Well folks, it's finally here -- the last Rockin' on the Riverfront concert of the 2008 season. It has been an AMAZING couple of months and this year's series has proved to be nothing short of a success. We send an enormous thank you out to everyone who has attended the concerts, viewed this blog, posted comments or sent e-mails to us at rockinontheriverfront@gmail.com. Please feel free to continue e-mailing us after the concert with any comments, photos or questions.
Foreigner will rock the Riverfront stage this Friday, Aug. 22 -- ending the 2008 Rockin' on the Riverfront concert series with a bang!
Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, Foreigner was universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums and sold-out tours. From “Hot Blooded” and “Jukebox Hero,” to “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” Foreigner's thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans.
SIDENOTE: Check out this hilarious YouTube video of a 4-year-old lip-syncing to Jukebox Hero!
Foreigner is celebrating four decades of music making, regrouping with an exciting, brand new lineup. Led by the group's creative brainchild, chief songwriter, musician and producer, Mick Jones, the band includes veteran members, keyboardist Jeff Jacobs and rhythm guitarist Tom Gimbel. New recruits include bassist Jeff Pilson, drummer Jason Bonham (the son of the late Led Zepplin drummer John Bonham) and vocalist Kelly Hansen.
Hunter Brucks (pronounced Brooks) will open the show from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. His music has been described as “motor city soul meets southern rock ‘n’ roll.” Foreigner will play from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
