The Story of George Thorogood tickets

It's always been about blues for guitarist, singer and songwriter George Thorogood. Although, for a short time after high school Thorogood was a semi-professional baseball player, he turned to music after seeing bluesman John P. Hammond performing. George Thorogood, who was born in 1950 and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, pulled together a backing band in 1970 and called them the Destroyers, then went to work, moving them to Boston and became regulars on the blues club circuit. Though they were a popular club blues band, recording success wasn't immediate, but after recording a demo in 1974, called Better Than the Rest, he secured a contract with Rounder Records and the band released their first album, George Thorogood & The Destroyers in 1977, which includes a blues classic that caught on, 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,' a tune fans still love to hear. More success came with 1978's Move It On Over and Thorogood scored hits with the title track and the Bo Diddley tune 'Who Do You Love?' But the real heyday of George Thorogood and the Destroyers began with the 1982 release of Bad to the Bone, whose title tune was an instant classic and has been used heavily in movies and television. After that album, the bands subsequent releases in the 1980s all went gold, with hits such as 'I Drink Alone' and 'You Talk Too Much.' One thing about Thorogood: he has always done it his way, and hasn't compromised his hardcore blues approach to music. With George Thorogood tickets you'll get pure, simple, unadulterated blues.
