We’re celebrating America’s top rock hits, including the artistes who developed the style of Heartland Rock in the 1970s. This is a genre of rock music characterized by a straightforward, often roots musical style, often with a focus on blue-collar workers, and a conviction that rock music has a social or communal purpose beyond just entertainment. Verses in heartland rock songs often tell stories about people undergoing hard times and the choruses are often anthemic. The genre is exemplified by singer-songwriters Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and Little Feat. This genre reached its commercial peak in the 1980s when it became one of the best- selling genres in the United States. In the 1990s, the major figures have continued to record with commercial success.

Paying tribute to this music is ‘Barry Thomson and The Reals’, comprising front man and guitar maestro Barry Thomson (lead guitar and vocals), Dawn Selby (keyboards and vocals), Mali Sewell (drums), Robz Millar (bass guitar and vocals) and Shaun Dragt (guitar and vocals).A show not to be missed!
