John Fogerty ~ 4-17-2010 John Fogerty ~ Location: Laughlin Event Center Venue: Town-wide event Start Date: 04/17/2010 End Date: 04/17/2010 Dark Date(s): N/A Times: 8 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm) Cost: $25; $35; $45; $55 The music of John Fogerty has always lent itself to a live setting. Just ask the uncounted bar bands who, for years, have kept the patrons placated with open-ended renditions of "Proud Mary" or "Born On The Bayou," "Green River" or "Bad Moon Rising." Here, obviously, is music meant to be heard up-close and in-person. For fans of authentic American rock 'n' roll, passionately and persuasively performed, it seems that the legend of John Fogerty's electrifying stage presence would remain just that -- a you-shoulda-been-there tall tale told by veteran fans. John Fogerty delivers the timeless essence of his music. A genuine showman, an entertainer dedicated to the proposition that every audience deserves his very best, John Fogerty on stage is a sight to behold and a sound to savor. John Fogerty was honored as a composer, with the 1997 Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Songwriters, and as an instrumentalist, with the Orville Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award. He also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Halls of Fame. HOTEL PACKAGES: AQUARIUS: Two-night stay on Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17; and two concert tickets for $139.99 plus tax.

The Avett Brothers ~ 4-17-2010 The Avett Brothers ~ I and Love and You, The Avett Brothers' big-label debut, is delivered in a style that defies pigeonholing but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop - even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there. Drawn by the naked honesty of their songs and the rousing intensity of their live shows, legendary producer and talent scout Rick Rubin signed the Avett Brothers - consisting of siblings Scott and Seth, plus bassist Bob Crawford - to his American Recordings label in 2008. $35.00 General Admission $35.00 Reserved Seating The Fox Theater 1807 Telegraph Avenue Oakland CA 94612
