John Fogerty has written some of the most prolific songs in history. Along with Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty topped the charts in the 60s with hits such as Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, and Who’ll Stop The Rain. He’s been playing primarily Vegas shows lately, so it’s been awhile since he toured.
Unlike CCR, ZZ Top still sticks together after all these years as well. Billy Gibbons had to take some time off the road due to health issues recently, but he’s back with them again. They’re in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and their induction was far less controversial than CCR’s.
Today, a massive tour featuring both names was announced, entitled the Blues And Bayous tour. And one of its stops will be at Clearwater’s Coachman Park on June 2. Tickets go onsale this Friday, and will start at $40 for general admission seats. The show has not officially been announced by Ruth Eckerd Hall yet, but the site says that a third artist will be added at a later date.
Fogerty’s last time in the Bay area was at the Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in 2015 on the 1969 Tour, and ZZ Top’s was at Ruth Eckerd Hall in November of 2016. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, not going to be a show to miss.
