John Fogerty
2014-11-27 19:30 - 23:30
Legendary musician John Fogerty has announced his upcoming coast-to-coast Canadian tour kicking off in St. John’s, Newfoundland on November 8. For the first time, this tour celebrates 1969 – the extraordinary year in which Fogerty wrote and produced THREE seminal albums with Creedence Clearwater Revival: BAYOU COUNTRY, GREEN RIVER, and WILLY AND THE POOR BOYS. Beginning with PROUD MARY, which quickly established him as an elite singer/songwriter, he wrote and produced an enormous volume of treasured recordings in a small amount of time that propelled Creedence Clearwater Revival to become the number one group in the world. The legacy of 1969 lives on with BORN ON THE BAYOU, GREEN RIVER, BAD MOON RISING, DOWN ON THE CORNER, and capped off with a song for the ages, FORTUNATE SON. All of this musical output occurred while the world’s cultural and political landscape was in upheaval. 1969 was an extraordinary time. The show will be centered around this year, but also include his complete catalogue of hits. Complete tour listing below.
Fans get early access to tickets, VIP packages, and more by joining the free John Fogerty fan club. Presale begins Tuesday, May 20 at 10 a.m. local time at www.johnfogerty.com
John Fogerty is a true American treasure, one of popular music’s all-time greatest singers, guitar players, and songwriters. His remarkable career began in his hometown of El Cerrito, California, soon earning massive popular and critical success with the one and only Creedence Clearwater Revival. As leader of CCR, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock ‘n’ roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective.
After Creedence Clearwater Revival called it quits in 1972, Fogerty embarked on what would prove to be an equally impressive solo career. Among its many highlights are 1975’s John Fogerty – featuring the rollicking ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ – and 1985’s #1 phenomenon, Centrefield. With its trio of timeless hit singles, including ‘The Old Man Down The Road,’ ‘Rock And Roll Girls,’ and the irresistible title track, the multi-platinum collection marked Fogerty’s glorious return to the forefront of modern rock ‘n’ roll.
1997’s Blue Moon Swamp earned Fogerty further acclamation, as well as a Grammy Award for ‘Best Rock Album.’ Among his many other honors are induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the BMI Pop Music Awards’ prestigious ‘BMI Icon,’ and Performance Magazine’s ‘Theater Tour of the Year’ Award. In addition, Fogerty and ‘Centerfield’ were honored during the 2010 National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies – the first time the National Baseball Hall of Fame has immortalized a musician or song as part of the annual ceremonies.
In 2013, Fogerty released Wrote a Song for Everyone, a testament to the fact that the songs written by John Fogerty over the past forty-five years continue to speak in a powerful way to generations of music makers and music lovers.
Presented by EZ ROCK, John Fogerty will rock the South Okanagan this coming November with all the classic hits you know and love. Tickets for John Fogerty are $20.00, $49.50 and $69.50* and go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 23 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.ValleyFirstTix.com, by telephone at 1.877.SOEC.TIX (763.2849) or in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC) and Wine Country Visitor Centre.

Dropkick Murphys
2014-09-28 19:30 - 23:30
Venue: Penticton Trade and Convention Centre

Penticton, BC: One of the world’s biggest punk bands, Dropkick Murphys with guests Blood or Whiskey and Bryan McPherson will bring their blend of punk rock, Irish rock and hardcore music to the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre on Sunday, September 28 for an energetic, adrenalin-pumping show.
Formed in 1996 in Boston, MA, the Irish-American punk rock band began in the basement of a barbershop. Originally just a bunch of friends looking to play music for fun, the Dropkick Murphys have grown into one of the most popular punk bands in the world. Citing their influence as The Clash, The Pogues, Stiff Little Fingers, AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen, the Dropkick Murphys have blended their diverse musical influences to create a distinct loud, raucous, chaotic sound that cannot be replicated.
To date, the Dropkick Murphys have released numerous singles and EPs, a live album and DVD and eight full length albums. In 2004, Dropkick Murphys released a punk version of “Tessie,” the turn-of-the-century fight song for the Boston Red Sox. It became the theme song to the Red Sox’s historic World Series win in 2004. Catapulting the band to new heights was the 2006 Academy Award-winning movie The Departed featuring the Dropkick Murphys’ “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.” The Dropkick Murphys have performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as well as all the biggest music festivals in Japan, Australia, the UK and Europe.
The Dropkick Murphys’ goal is to play music that creates an all for one, one for all environment. Music lovers are encouraged to participate and sing along to their adrenalin fuelled show. In the true spirit of punk rock, the Dropkick Murphys view themselves and the audience as one in the same; in other words the stage and the microphone is the audiences’.
Tickets for Dropkick Murphys with guests Blood or Whiskey and Bryan McPherson are $28* general admission and increase day of show (*plus applicable service fees). Tickets can be purchased at www.ValleyFirstTix.com, by telephone at 1.877.SOEC.TIX (763.2849), or in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC) and Wine Country Visitor Centre. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 27 at 10:00 a.m.
