Huey Lewis And The News Show

If “ The Heart of Rock N Roll ” is the beat , I would say Huey Lewis and The News , get it right .
I did talk to his main guy Johnny Colla , songwriter , saxophonist , guitar player , and his arranger . Johnny simply said to me- “ Que Paso ” It ’ s just another day at the races !
The band has a new album coming out with some new material , which they played some tracks from at the show . Huey stated that he would be happy to play the old hits all night long , but the band “ insisted ” that they also do some new material .
Huey , a San Francisco based native , has his musical roots in the Blues and Doo Wop , with a heavy back beat . Catchy hooks , great melodies and excellent musicianship are what you get at a Huey Lewis show .
No , Huey doesn ’ t wear a fancy suit , spandex pants , or a tie with lights in it , but just a tee shirt and jeans work great for him . He is witty , fun , and is just simply “ one of the guys ”.
