Huey Lewis and The News
When Huey Lewis and The News takes to the stage on The 80s Cruise, Guests will be transported back to the days when the band’s chart-topping hits dominated the airwaves and defined the soundtracks of their lives. Now in their 35th year, the rock ‘n roll mainstays continue to thrill audiences and have sold more than 20 million albums in the process. Key to the band’s success is its unique sound – a combination of musical influences including R&B and Soul – accompanied by frontman Huey Lewis’ distinctly rich and textured voice. Audiences will revel in hearing live renditions of band classics such as “The Power of Love,” “Heart & Soul,” “Stuck With You,” “I Want A New Drug,” “If This Is It,” “Hip To Be Square,” “Do You Believe In Love” and “Workin’ For A Livin’.” Lewis also is expected to bring some bluesy tones to the performance with some harmonica solos. Other highlights of the show include an acappella rendition of early rock ‘n roll classics such as “It’s Alright,” “Little Bitty Pretty One” and “Sixty Minute Man.” Huey Lewis and The News consists of Huey Lewis (vocals and harmonica), Johnny Colla (saxophone, guitar and vocals), Bill Gibson (drums, percussion and vocals), Sean Hopper (keyboard and vocals), Stef Burns (guitars and vocals) and John Pierce (bass). Additionally, live shows feature the band’s long-time horn section of San Francisco Bay Area luminaries Rob Sudduth (tenor saxophone), Marvin McFadden (trumpet) and Johnnie Bamont (baritone saxophone). Easily one of America’s greatest rock ‘n roll bands, Huey Lewis & the News brings the “Heart of Rock & Roll” to The 80s Cruise and its adoring fans.
