This one is special, folks – this date marks 20 years TO THE DAY that the Hall family (and our dearly missed Ken Biringer) gave Dee her first gig at the Sportsmen’s Tavern! While we weren’t able to secure the Sportsmen’s for this night, we’re equally as excited to celebrate this at The Cave, and we have some treats in store I tell you what!
Since 2013, America’s #1 tribute to 80s legends Huey Lewis & The News has been The Heart of Rock & Roll.
THoRR goes beyond mere tribute with a frontman who brings to life the look and sound of Huey Lewis so accurately it’s uncanny. After seeing them live, Sean Hopper, founding member of HLN called it, “A surreal experience. Their attention to detail, both vocally and every other way is astounding.”
THoRR headlines coast to coast bringing HLN’s infectious blend of rock, pop, blues and soul to audiences of all ages. With unforgettable hits like, “Hip to Be Square” “Stuck with You” “I Want a New Drug” “The Power of Love” and of course, “The Heart of Rock & Roll.”
The show is a non-stop multimedia ride through all of HLN’s biggest hits in a colorful and exciting concert complete with video, costume changes and engaging audience interaction. The Heart of Rock & Roll has firmly established itself as one of the most accurate and entertaining tribute acts in the country. The news is spreading across the nation and the message is clear. The Heart of Rock & Roll is still beating.
