Big Show - Stars of the 70s & 80s at Tri-Lakes Center, October 24

[Branson Friend]

Friday October 24, 2008, 7:30pm at The Tri-Lakes Center in Branson, Up Close Concerts presents STARFEST. This incredible night of music features the original voices of the biggest hits of the 70s and 80s: Jimi Jamison – former lead singer of Survivor (“I Can’t Hold Back,” “The Search Is Over,” “High on You,””Is This Love,” and the critically acclaimed re-release of “Eye Of The Tiger”), Larry Hoppen – lead singer of Orleans (“Still The One,” “Dance With Me,” “Love Takes Time”), Alex Ligertwood – former lead singer of Santana (“Hold On,” “Winning,” live in concert releases of “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va”), David Pack – former lead singer of Ambrosia (“Biggest Part of Me,” You’re The Only Woman,” “How Much I Feel”), and Robbie Dupree (“Steal Away,” “Hot Rod Hearts”).

This is not a tribute show – it’s the original songs by the voices you remember, backed by one of the most talented bands in the music industry. In addition to singing their own hits, they will join each other on stage for special performances. This is an experience you will not forget. And here’s something that is very rare in the world of Rock and Pop music – you may take photos during the show (still photos only please, no audio or video) and the performers will be available for autographs after the show.
