Step back in time, Saturday November 2 at 7:30, at THE PIX, where The Fortunate Sons will take us on a Creedence, Clearwater Revival musical journey to the 60’s and 70’s. The original band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty , bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug” Cosmo” Clifford. Their musical style encompassed the roots rock and swamp rock genres. Despite their San Francisco Bay Area origins, they portrayed a Southern rock style, singing about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern iconography. The Fortunate Sons were formed to bring the ultimate C.C.R. experience to the stage. Each member was chosen to portray the playing style and appearance of Creedence in their prime. Drummer Jeff Philippe as “Cosmo” Clifford, bassist Dave Greene as Stu Cook, and guitarist Travis Bird as Tom Fogerty bring the swamp and the stomp to the stage, just as rough and rocking as the originals. Blazing over it all is the heart-stopping guitar and howling vocals of Jed Taylor, restoring John Fogerty’s bayou-blues to their former glory. Using original vintage gear and instruments, accurate costumes, and spot-on musical ability, The Fortunate Sons instantly conjure up the full experience of C.C.R.’s music. Tickets available at The PIX Box Office, inside Gallery 194, 194 W Nepessing Street, or by calling 810-664-4824, Tuesday – Saturday 11:00 am – 6:00 pm or online pixlapeer.org
