Fortunate Son" John Fogerty Sings the Classics at Hard Rock Live on April 22
Tickets are on sale now
Hollywood, Fla. - Iconic songwriter and musician John Fogerty brings four decades of classic hits to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on April 22 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now.
John Fogerty is an American treasure: one of the most revered and influential artists to emerge in the ‘60s, and still a vital part of the musical landscape. As lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Creedence Clearwater Revival and as a Grammy-winning, chart-topping solo artist, Fogerty's sound has encompassed everything from blues to country to southern swamp rock and roll.
As the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty released nine Top Ten singles between 1969 and 1971 starting with the standard "Proud Mary." Creedence also scored eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972 including the hits "Bad Moon Rising" and "Fortunate Son."
Fan favorite hits include "Down on the Corner," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," "Midnight Special," "Lookin' out My Back Door" and "Born on the Bayou."
After Creedence split up in 1972, Fogerty released an album of covers, on which he played all the instruments, under the name the Blue Ridge Rangers in 1973. This was followed by a solo album, John Fogerty (1975).
Long legal battles over song credits led Fogerty away from the spotlight until 1984 when he rebounded with a Top Ten single, "The Old Man Down the Road," and a number one album, Centerfield. Eye of the Zombie followed in 1986. In 1997, he released Blue Moon Swamp and the live Premonition. In 2005, he put out Long Road Home: The Ultimate John Fogerty/Creedence Collection and its accompanying DVD, Long Road Home: In Concert, the first compilation of its kind to feature both CCR classics and Fogerty's solo work. After a number of concert appearances, Fogerty released Revival in 2007.
His latest release is The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again (2009), a series of hit songs from the past with impressive duets from the present including Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit.
Known as one of the greatest songwriters, singers and guitarists of all time, Fogerty was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
