Huey Lewis and The News are truly one of America's great rock & roll bands. As they enter their 38th year together, their contagious brand of music has outlasted countless trends, and is as fresh today as ever. Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, they continue to thrill audiences worldwide, selling over 20 million albums in the process, earning them the right to mark their place on the pop history map.
These Grammy Award winners have written and performed such classic Top Ten Hits as "Heart of Rock & Roll", "Stuck With You", "I Want A New Drug", "
If This Is It", "Hip To Be Square", "Do You Believe In Love" and "Workin' For A Livin". The group also wrote and performed "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" for the hit film Back To The Future. "The Power of Love," nominated for an Academy Award, went to #1 on Billboard's singles chart, and was a smash hit worldwide. As great a recording career as the band has had, there is something extra special about a
Huey Lewis & The News live show. They incorporate a variety of musical influences including R&B and soul to create their own unique sound.
The newest addition to the region's entertainment scene, the Performance Hall at Live! Casino & Hotel features a built-in performance stage, along with state-of-the-art audio and visual technology and seating systems, just steps away from the excitement of the Live! Casino floor.
Along with musical headliners, such as Huey Lewis and the News, the Performance Hall will showcase the best in comedy, sports, and a variety of entertainment acts. The venue will open with 1,500 seats and expand to 4,000 seats upon completion of a second phase of construction in
