Both concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Foghat has been together for 43 years singing rock ‘n’ roll, boogie and blues, with Roger Earl playing drums throughout. The band still tours relentlessly because they love to play, which is evident in the passion and fun they have onstage during their live performances.

Signed to Bearsville Records in 1971, Foghat recorded and began touring relentlessly for the next 14 years. Their hard work has been rewarded with seven gold records, one platinum record “Fool for the City” and one double-platinum record “Foghat Live.” They continued to hit the charts in the ’70s with singles such as “Fool for the City,” “Drivin’ Wheel,” “I Just Want to Make Love To You,” “Stone Blue, Third Time Lucky” and “Somebody’s Been Sleeping In My Bed.” For more information on Foghat visit foghat.net.
