He has performed for the Queen four times, several presidents and many heads of state. He has recorded everything from the most romantic ballads to movie theme songs, disco, rock, and even gospel. His unique voice has charmed millions of fans around the globe. However, it’s not just the voice, but the man himself, with his endearing sense of humor and self-deprecating jokes. Engelbert has managed to strike a new chord with the younger generation, and his YouTube music videos &amp; social media numbers are incredible.
Engelbert exploded on to the music scene with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The shy handsome man catapulted almost instantly to world icon. He became great friends with Elvis and the two legends often performed each other’s songs. His first single in the charts was “Release Me,” which went into the Guinness Book of Records for achieving 56 consecutive weeks on the charts. It was No. 1 in 11 countries. Engelbert’s hit song “A Man Without Love” was featured in Marvel’s “Moon Knight” Disney+ Series. In Sony Pictures’ new Brad Pitt film “Bullet Train” Engelbert’s song “Forever Blowing Bubbles” is featured. And in Netflix’s ‘Umbrella Academy” his “Quando, Quando, Quando” is heard.

2026, and after 55 years, Foghat is still going as strong as ever! Last year, they celebrated 50 years of “Slow Ride,” the timeless anthem that put them on the global map and has not let up since.&nbsp;It all exploded in 1975 with Fool for the City, their double-platinum masterpiece featuring the now-legendary track “Slow Ride.” Just two years later, Foghat Live went multi-platinum and cemented their rep as one of rock’s most electrifying live bands. The current lineup is a mix of legacy and fresh fire: Roger Earl (Founding drummer and heartbeat of the band), Bryan Bassett (Slide guitar – Wild Cherry/Molly Hatchet and Foghat member for over 30 years), Rodney O’Quinn (Thunderous low end and vocals, formerly of the Pat Travers Band) and Scott Holt (Former Buddy Guy guitarist whose voice and fretwork bring a new edge to Foghat’s sound).&nbsp;Together, they deliver a show that is raw, real, and rocking, honoring the past while charging full throttle into the future.
The legendary classic rock band Head East has long set the standard for authentic, full-vocal, goodtime rock harmonies that few bands can equal. Their high-energy shows are filled with superb vocals, flashy guitar work and memorable keyboard melodies that continue to rock audiences of all ages. Their signature song, “NEVER BEEN ANY REASON” with notable chorus “Save my life I’m going down for the last time” has long been considered by many radio stations across the country as “The Rock &amp; Roll National Anthem.” This year Head East will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary by performing most cuts off of their iconic record “Flat As A Pancake”. The band has brought classic arena rock to countless audiences all across North America. According to founding member and keyboardist Roger Boyd, Head East will continue to bring their brand of dance and shout, good-time rock and roll to audiences of all ages for many years to come. “As long as I can lift my synthesizer over my head and the audience goes wild, we’ll keep rockin’ on!” Head East is a 5-piece band consisting of Roger Boyd (keyboards &amp; vocals), Greg Manahan (bass, lead guitar &amp; vocals), Mark Murtha (lead guitar &amp; vocals), Eddy Jones (drums &amp; vocals) and Darren Walker (lead vocals &amp; bass).
