Peter
Frampton & Creedence Clearwater Revisited
to headline at Stanislaus County Fair
Turlock—Two
of this century’s most influential acts—brilliant
guitarist and singer Peter
Frampton and swamp rock legends Creedence
Clearwater Revisited will headline at the Stanislaus
County Fair!
The
classic rock concert is slated for Monday,
July 28, at 8:00 p.m. in the Food Maxx Arena.
Tickets
for  this
concert and all arena events will go on sale on
Saturday, May 3.
“This
Frampton and Creedence concert is going to be
awesome,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the
Stanislaus County Fair.
“Classic rock fans filled the arena to
capacity for Lynyrd Skynyrd last year, proving to us
that classic rock is what they want.
We’re bringing those fans exactly what they
want again this year!”
Peter
Frampton,
winner of the prestigious Orville Gibson Lifetime
Achievement Award, is known as one of the best
guitarists of his time. His chart-topping hits include
“Do You Feel Like We Do,” “Signed, Sealed,
Delivered (I’m Yours),” “Baby I Love Your Way”
and “Show Me the Way.”
In
2002, Frampton was honored with a Grammy
nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for
“Off the Hook.” The one-man show has sold millions
of records and has proven himself as a talented
writer, guitarist and singer with lasting impact.
In
addition to working on a new album, due out this year,
Frampton is hard at work in his company
“Framptone,” a successful producer of high-end
handmade musical accessories.
Creedence
Clearwater Revisited is the “child” of the
former Creedence Clearwater Revival which featured
original rockers Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo”
Clifford.
The
band started with the intention of playing private
parties but quickly rose to great fame and now tours
internationally. Creedence
Clearwater Revisited plays hits from the original
band’s cache like “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon
Rising” and “Born on the Bayou.”
Creedence
Clearwater Revisited recently released
“Recollection,” which features 22 classic hits
with a new spin that comes with a change in band
members. Their music is full of energy and surges with
the vibrancy of the American spirit.
“The
2002 Lynyrd Skynyrd concert sold out in less than four
days,” said Rorex. “We expect this classic rock
concert to sell fast too, so I encourage concert-goers
to buy their tickets early!”

grandstand seating and $18 for reserved arena floor
