The songs and sound of the legendary 1970s group the Eagles will be recreated as Friends of Drayton Festival Theatre present The Ultimate Eagles Tribute for two performances only on April 21 at 2 and 7:30pm at the Drayton Festival Theatre.
Comprised of some of Canada’s leading session musicians, the aptly-named band New Kids in Town will hit the stage for a concert full of chart toppers and classic tunes by the popular rock- country group.
The band is named after a song from the Eagles’ 1976 album Hotel California.
The first set will include songs from the Eagles Greatest Hits: 1971-1975 including Take It Easy, One of These Nights, Tequila Sunrise, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take It To The Limit and Desperado.
The second set features classics from the latter portion of the Eagles career including Life in the Fast Lane, The Long Run, Heartache Tonight and their signature song Hotel California.
Combining raw talent, natural showmanship and note for note accuracy, New Kid in Town’s Ultimate Eagles Tribute has performed across the country in theatres, festivals, casinos and more.
The band includes pianist Rob Kilian, bassist Dante Dicenso, guitarist James Yorfido, guitarist Thom Hastings and drummer Tom Koncan.
All five musicians sing to recreate the harmonies made famous by the Eagles, resulting in Canada’s best tribute to the American super group, officials say.
All event proceeds benefit charitable programs at the Drayton Festival Theatre.
Tickets are $32 for adults, $27 for groups of 10 or more and $25 for youth. HST applicable to all ticket purchases.
Tickets may be purchased in person at the box office, by calling 519-638-5555 or online instantly at www.draytonentertainment.com/eagles.
