About John Fogerty

Experience the John Fogerty 'Revival' (12/2/2013)

John Fogerty is intent on carving a legacy as the king of longevity. For it wasn't all that long ago that Forgerty appeared to be fading fast from the music scene, but a revival (literally, since it was the title of his 2007 album) has this California native riding high once again.

Forgery has certainly kept himself busy, especially since "Revival" debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 chart back on October 2, 2007. In fact, a list of his more notable accomplishments happens to read like a Who's Who, thanks to all the superstars Fogerty has collaborated with. They include (in no particular order), the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit, and whole host of others.

The 'others' we're referring to were happy to lend a hand (and their voice) to Fogerty's "Wrote a Song for Everyone" in 2011, chich was released on Vanguard Records on May 28, 2013 – which just happened to be Fogerty's 68th birthday. The album is a collection of some of his biggest hits performed with today's biggest stars, including Keith Urban, Kid Rock, My Morning Jacket, Jennifer Hudson, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, and more.

On September 7, 2013 Fogerty sat in with rock band Widespread Panic at the inaugural Lockn'Festival in Arrington, Virginia. They played hits like "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising," "Mystic Highway," "The Old Man Down the Road," "Fortunate Son," and more.

Forgery recently penned his own memoirs, with a book expected to be released in 2014. An audiobook version is also planned, narrated by Fogerty himself.

About John Forgerty tickets

Rock and roll legend John Fogerty has become legendary for the energy and genuineness he gives his live shows. On stage, way more than via the recorded product, his music comes across with the American roots, Southern-style authenticity that he intends it to contain when he writes some of rock's most memorable songs. As a founding member of the Southern roots rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, along with his younger brother Tom Fogerty, John Fogerty composed most of the band's biggest hits, including 'Proud Mary,' 'Born on the Bayou,' 'Green River,' 'Bad Moon Rising,' 'Fortunate Son,' 'Down on the Corner,' 'Lookin' Out My Back Door,' and 'Who'll Stop the Rain.' But as successful as Creedence Clearwater Revival was, it's as a solo artist that John Fogerty has really shone. After the breakup of the band in 1973, Fogerty embarked on his solo career, at first as mostly a country act, and though he had some successes, such as the single 'Rockin' All Over the World,' over all sales were slim. That is, until 1985, when Fogerty released his album Centerfield and had huge comeback success with 'The Old Man Down the Road,' and especially the title track, a favorite among baseball fans. Fogerty's next album, Eye of the Zombie was not as successful, and he faded from the music scene for a while, rediscovering his southern roots. Fogerty stormed back again in 1997 with the release of Blue Moon Swamp and has recorded four more albums since. But it's always been his live shows that showcase his electrifying talent as a performer, and John Fogerty tickets** are a chance to see one of the best on stage.
