JOHN FOGERTY

Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, Victoria
Doors: 6:30pm
Show: 7:30pm

**RESERVED SEATING**

Few careers in rock ’n’ roll have been as vital or enduring as John Fogerty’s. The songwriting wizard behind Creedence Clearwater Revival, John practically defined late ‘60s/early ‘70s rock with classics like “Bad Moon Rising”, “Down on the Corner”, “Fortunate Son”, “Lodi”, “The Midnight Special”, “Lookin’ Out My Back Door”, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”, “Hey Tonight” and many more. Hundreds of bands and songwriters have cited CCR albums like Cosmo’s Factory as being influential, and many younger artists consider John Fogerty as one of the greats.

In the 1980s, John experienced a career revitalization as a new generation discovered him through old CCR records as well as his solo album Centerfield, which featured the hit title track as well as the MTV hit “The Old Man Down the Road”. Since that 1985 record John has released several more well-received solo records, including Eye of the Zombie, Premonition, and Blue Moon Swamp. His most recent release, The Long Road Home: In Concert, captures John in all his live glory, as he stomps through a thunderous back catalogue of vintage Creedence tracks as well as solo material. He has plans to release a new album in the fall.

Jim Cuddy's The Light That Guides You Home just won a Juno for Adult Alternative Ablum of the Year. The second solo album from the Blue Rodeo frontman, it has been eight years since the release of Cuddy's first solo album, All In Time. The diversity of The Light That Guides You Home draws on much of the music that has influenced Cuddy over the years. The album soars from the country-tinged "Countrywide Soul" to the ebullient pop of "One Fine Day" to the full-throttle rolling rock of "Stagger In".

Don’t miss the legendary John Fogerty with special guest Jim Cuddy Band on Wednesday, August 1st. at Save on Foods Memorial Centre.
