Legendary rocker John Fogerty brings his retrospective tour, My 50 Year Trip, to the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Oct. 12. Facebook |
There will be a bad moon rising over Victoria in October, as one of the giants of classic rock returns to Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.
Former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty brings his down home brand of bayou rock to the region Saturday, Oct. 12 for a show thatBԪַs billed as an exhilarating blast from the past.
Inspired by the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, which CCR played at in the wee morning hours of Sunday, Aug. 17, 1969 (between The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin), Fogerty is hitting the road to spread some of the spirit of that era.
