Rehearses: Mondays from 5:15-8:15pm, First Rehearsal: Monday, September 30
Finally! CCR is one of those bands that everyone loves. The songs are groovy, the guitars are cool, the singing is incredible, and you can’t get the melodies out of your head. Even though they were only around for 4 years, these guys played Woodstock, they were inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame the first year they were eligible, had 6 platinum albums, and sold 30 million records! These are some of America’s greatest songs and it’s about time they got their own show! This is going to RULE!
THE CLASH
Directed by Tyler Ward, Assisted by Christina Bernard
Rehearses: Wednesdays from 5:15-8:15pm, First Rehearsal: Wednesday, October 2nd
Having only done album shows by The Clash in the past, this will be the first full show and it’ll be a doozy. These guys started out by releasing one of the top 10 most important punk albums of all time and they only got more adventurous after that. London Calling turned out to be a huge crossover success and they’re later hits still play on the radio today! The Clash are truly one of the world’s most important and influential bands of any genre.
