IN MY LIFE- UPCOMING SHOWS

2019 has been a great year for concerts. We have seen Hall & Oates for the first time ( a fine performance), Belinda Carlisle ( fun) and Willie Nelson/ Bonnie Raitt/ Allison Krauss ( all great, especially Allison).

Who knows what 2020 will bring in music, but soon there will be more shows to savor as the holidays near and beyond into the New Year. Here ia a brief outlook of what is coming up..

- Justin Hayward at Sellersville Theater (October)

The lead singer of The Moody Blues is doing an acoustic tour of smaller venues. We saw the Moodies a few summers ago at the Mann Music Center and they were great. I'm hoping to hear stripped-down versions of songs  like "Nights In White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon."

- Ricky Nelson Remembered- Sellersville  ( November)

The last time we saw the Nelson twins ( Matthew and Gunnar) they were terrific, doing songs by their iconic dad. Their personal stories were interesting, plus they hung around  after wards to meet and greet their fans. Nice guys! I expect the same songs but they were so good it's worth a second visit.

- Sound & Sound Theater- Miracle of Christmas ( November)

I loved the last presentation from Sight & Sound (Jesus). We were so impressed with the spectacular show that we had to see their holiday event. We were astonished by the music, play, live animals ( camels, goats and horses included) sets  and overall fantastic atmosphere. Can't wait to see the Christmas play, something for all ages.

-  John Cleese - Parx Casino ( November)

Not sure what the former Monty Python member will do. Rumors are he will come out after a Monty  movie or a Cleese film and take questions, do skits or reminisce.

- - B.J. Thomas- Sellersville (December)

Thomas doesn't tour much anymore. He's 77. So this show should be special. I'm sure we will hear classic songs like "Raindrops Keep Falling On my Head" and more hits. But since this show is only 3 days before Christmas, maybe we will hear some holiday tunes as well.

- Herman's Hermots- Sellersville (January)

A great concert to start the new year. We saw Peter Noone and the hermits exactly one year ago and they were fun. Noone is funny and really works the crowd. It's refreshing to hear old 60's classics from the British Invasion era.
