John Fogerty is a true American treasure, one of popular music’s all-time greatest singers, guitar players, and songwriters. As leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own, equal parts swamp boogie, blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, and Southern fried rock ‘n’ roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective.
Fogerty recently announced his first ever ‘Cross Canadian Revival Tour’ which begins September 7th in St. John’s, Newfoundland through September 29th in Victoria, BC.
A U.S. tour will follow.
