Callaway Gardens Presents Foghat in Concert This Saturday Night
Staff Report From Columbus CEO
Thursday, July 16th, 2015
WHAT: Foghat and Special Guest, Neal Lucas, will be taking concertgoers on a “Slow Ride” THIS Saturday! Tickets are on Sale Now!
In the late 60s, Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave Peverett toured America as members of the seminal British band Savoy Brown who were on the cutting edge of the emerging British blues-rock scene. Foghat was formed in 1971 when Roger and Dave left Savoy, wanting to give a more rock 'n roll flavor to the blues-boogie music they had been playing. They took America by storm during the 1970s and dominated the airwaves with classic songs such as “Fool for the City,” “Slow Ride,” Night Shift', “Stone Blue,” “Third Time Lucky,” and their cover of Willie Dixon's “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” Foghat has never stopped touring and recording because they just love to play. That is what Foghat is all about … the music! In the last few years, the band has reached a whole new generation of fans due to their songs appearing on such popular games as Guitar Hero III, numerous movies, and TV ads, etc. As a result, the tour keeps going and the boogie continues.
