SUMMARY:Concerts by the Bay: Bad Moon Rising
DESCRIPTION:Come see the #1 CCR Tribute Band in the US! \nBad Moon Rising\, a Classic Tributes Live band\, invites you to take a trip down the Mississippi delta as they pay tribute to arguably the greatest rock band North America ever produced: Creedence Clearwater Revival. \n​CCR was an American Roots rock band whose sound incorporated southern\, country and blues rock. The resulting sound and success (built on the distinctive vocals\, wailing guitar and song writing style of John Fogerty) became known as swamp rock\, and CCR was the pioneer of the genre. \nDoors open at 2:30- single tickets $30\, students free\, or season sponsorship available.
