About

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."

    Huey Lewis is the News

    by Agamemon on 2017-09-02Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Have to say this is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. The music was awesome, the set simple and the audience involvement was excellent. A great musician, this is a concert not to miss.

    SO fun!

    by Joecalgary on 2017-09-02Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    We had such a good time. Huey & the band played all the hits and a couple of new things as well. I'm not usually into hearing new material at a concert but this was pure Huey Lewis And The News, fit right in with their classics. I danced the whole time!!

    Huey Lewis and the News were superb!

    by Luckyus on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    I've liked HL&TN since the 80's, this was my first time to one of their concerts (sorry Huey! as he does poll the audience). I regret not having seen them before, I didn't know they were going to be THAT good. Huey is awesome. Not only is he, and the band, talented musically, he really knows how to connect with the crowd. We were on the floor and he got everybody up - singing, clapping and participating. They've got their performance fine tuned and perfected, he's got it going on! He gives 100% to his performance, no slacking there, all the guys do, but he works the hardest by far. It's impossible to believe he's 67, he's fit! His voice was a bit strained or tired, but still, he belted the songs out like nobody's business, so full credit to him. If they came back to Calgary, we would definitely go see them again. The only real disappointment was the Grey Eagle Casino. It was horribly (cigarette) smokey, it was uncomfortably hot with very little A/C and the seats are hooked together so if your backside is more that a foot across you're bumping hips and shoulders which would have been okay if wasn't so hot in there. All things considered, I'd give HL&TN 10/10.

    While We're Young

    by Atee on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Enjoyed seeing Huey Lewis and the News live for the first time. He was accompanied with a great group of musicians including a nice horns section. Songs were well performed and the sound well mixed and sounding true to the originals. Many of the songs were nicely amp'd up with jazziness. Rendition of the Impression's / Curtis Mayfield's "It's Alright" was a nice addition.

    Huey Lewis has still got it

    by DavidCalgaryFan on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Close your eyes and you pretty much forget Huey Lewis is 67 years old. The band sounds fantastic and Huey still has that gritty, baritone working for him. They faltered a bit on "If this is it" but other than that, every song was just how you'd remember it. Their A Capella interlude builds that relationship with the audience that you're looking for in live music and although Huey is more about singing than talking, he continued with enough crowd banter throughout the evening to make you feel included and part of something special.

    Event parking the worst!!

    by Bennythebear on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Took 3/4 hour just to get into parking lot from Glenmore, another 30 mins or so to get out. As for the concert, basically ok, sound was not very good for whole concert, kind of muddy, musicianship was excellent and effort by Huey and band was great. He did seem to have some trouble reaching the higher notes tho. Venue generally ok but I expected better sound for a big name performer. Don't think I will return to this venue just because of parking issue!

    Huey Lewis and the News turned back time.

    by damaddog on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Wow! Huey is 67 yet acts and sounds just like he did in the 80s. The band was also excellent, the guitar player really played those licks. Huey Lewis and the News played their biggest hits and through in some of their new stuff. 2 thumbs up!!!

    Huey Lewis

    by Kandy212 on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    Huey Lewis's voice has not changed. The music was good, even his new stuff. The only thing is the show was very short. He had an encore of which we had to wait about 5 minutes before he came out. He was better when he came to the stampede last year but I would still go back to see him.

    Never fails to deliver.

    by Bomberfan1962 on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    I attended Huey Lewis and the News in concert at the Grey Eagle Casino on August 29th, 2017. I've been following the band since the 1980s, and as usual they never fail to impress and entertain in their live show. The band is tight, even when they wander off to do a little improvisation in the blues and jazz tenure. Huey is the consummate front man: He never misses a cue, provides great background/back stories for the songs and band members, engages the crowd wonderfully, and still has all his harmonica/vocal chops even after 40 plus years in the business. Five stars is not enough for these icons.

    Outstanding!,!

    by SassySheba on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    We will never regret deciding to see this show. Huey and the Band had us chair dancing then dancing in the aisles through the whole show .. played all our favorites. The sound and energy of Huey and the boys was amazing for a bunch of old guys. You Rock Huey !! Don't ever Stop !!

    Huey Lewis was AMAZING!

    by Debbra on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    From the opening w/Heart & Soul to the 3 song encore (Power of Love, Stuck w/You & Worken' for a Livin') the room rocked all night! Huey Lewis was a Hit-Master, song after song; his concert proved he's still that master and his audience all love his music! The band was powerful and Huey's harmonica talent is so hot! Loved the whole high-energy night & @ 67 Huey Lewis is still one sexy and talented dude! Would see him again in a minute!

    Music was good

    by Niner8 on 2017-09-01Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary

    The music was good but the program was way to short. They finished after 1 hour, came back on for a 15 minute set. Very disappointing
