Same Shows Year After Year.
 
I'm sorry to to say anything negative, but why do we get the same shows year after year? Kansas, Lords of 52nd street, Hotel California, Lee greenwood, The Righteous Brothers, The Drifters.....that's a pretty long list of past shows here. Is this all that is available?

I'd be interested in suggestions as to what kind of acts people would like to see, either at The Savanna Center or The Sharon. Also, let's be reasonable, Billy Joel, Elton John or Bruce Springsteen are just a ways out of the budget.

I'll throw out a few:

Jackson Browne
Jethro Tull
Boz Scaggs
Seals and Crofts
Frankie Vali

Your Turn.

Ryan Adams
Amos Lee
Luka Bloom
Jack Johnson
Colin Hay
Mark Knopfler

There are loads more, and I could go on..........

Why? Prolly cause their tix are money makers?

How many times have the Lords of 52nd Street appeared here? Have you been to one of their concerts? Maybe you are not a fan of B.J. music?

Jimmy Clanton
The Earls
Johnny Tillotson
Dion

I would fight for front row seats at any of these!

Yes we did go to that show and it was GREAT, now time to move on to something else.

That would be interesting since he died in 1992.

Too bad Robin Williams has also passed. He could have done the intros for Lawrence Welk...

Why not venture out of the bubble plenty of entertainment at the corner of CR42 and CR25 3 nights week.

I wouldn't mind more comics; Jay Leno and Paula Poundstone were great. Paula does so much audience interaction that every show is a little different.

Saw Styx at the Sharon and it one rockin' vibrant evening. Had never been to a concert like that there before or since. The crowd never let up; they had to keep the bae lines open during the show.

Nobody got rowdy or obnoxious. There was too much fun to ruin it. The band was still together which made for a more genuine experience.

There are other opportunities like that.
