 We are currently in the planning stages for the Vision 2009 Conference entertainment. In the meantime, please review the entertainment biography below to see the caliber of musical talent you can expect to enjoy at a networking dinner and an exclusive performance for Vision 2009 attendees.
Experian is delighted to announce that the legendary band Huey Lewis and The News will perform exclusively for Vision 2008 Conference attendees. Join us for this exciting evening of entertainment following dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Huey Lewis and The News have been defying the rock oddsmakers for more than two decades. Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, the band has a contagious brand of straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll that has outlasted countless trends, selling more than 20 million albums worldwide in the process. Huey Lewis and The News have carried the banner as the quintessential American rock band, endearing them to millions of fans and earning them the right to mark their place on the pop history map.
These Grammy Award winners have written and performed such classic Top 10 hits as “Heart of Rock & Roll,” “Stuck With You,” “I Want A New Drug,” “If This Is It,” “Hip To Be Square” 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,” which was nominated for an Academy Awardâ, went all the way to number one on Billboard’s singles chart.
As great a recording career as the band has had, it’s their live performances that remain the stuff of legend. They have continued to tour, doing approximately 60 to 70 shows a year. Huey Lewis and The News have incorporated a variety of musical influences, including R & B and soul, to create their own unique sound. One highlight of their show is their a cappella rendition of early rock ’n’ roll classics such as “Sixty Minute Man,” “Under the Boardwalk” and “It’s Alright.”
Huey Lewis and The News are Huey Lewis (vocals and harmonica), Johnny Colla (saxophone, guitar and vocals), Bill Gibson (drums, percussion and vocals), Sean Hopper (keyboards and vocals), Stef Burns (guitars and vocals) and John Pierce (bass). Their live show features a horn section of San Francisco Bay Area luminaries: Marvin McFadden (trumpet), Ron Stallings (tenor saxophone) and Rob Sudduth (baritone saxophone).
