HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS IN CONCERT:
Following their successful 2013 Sports Anniversary Tour, '80s pop rock icons Huey Lewis and the News thrilled fans with the announcement of additional dates in 2014. Renowned for their stellar musicianship and the charisma of frontman Huey Lewis, the band has become a live favorite for their rollicking sets of upbeat '80s classics.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
“Huey Lewis and the News is still the heart of Rock and Roll. Huey still manages to have the crowd on their feet and sounds absolutely the same as he always does.”
“Huey Lewis still has the energy and passion that he had in the 1980s…No frills, just the music. Huey engages the crowd nicely. It was a magnificent show!”
“They rocked a packed house for a good long time…A great mixture of vocals, guitar, horns, and harmonica. They played all of the favorites, along with some new ones, and kept the crowd on their feet the whole show.”
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
After their songs “The Power of Love” and “Back in Time” were both featured prominently in the 1985 sci-fi classic Back to the Future, Huey Lewis and the News were all but assured a place as one of the most defining acts of the decade. They delivered on that promise, topping the album charts with Sports in 1983 and Fore! in 1986 and racking up some of the era's seminal hits with “I Want a New Drug,” “Hip to Be Square,” and “Stuck With You."
