N. LAWRENCE, OHIO - CLAY'S PARK ANNOUNCES ADDITION OF LEGENDARY ROCKERS, SANTANA ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER GREGG ROLIE AND BLUE OYSTER CULT TO 5TH ANNNUAL ROCK N RESORT MUSIC FESTIVAL LINE-UP.
SANTANA ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER GREGG ROLIE – Saturday, JULY 19, 2008 - The 5th Annual Rock N Resort Music Festival.
Gregg Rolie is responsible for co-founding two phenomenally popular, multi-platinum many times over super groups that indeed are, SANTANA and JOURNEY. In 1998, the world class keyboardist-vocalist-producer was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame as part of the original Santana band. In addition to launching- along with Carlos Santana- the now legendary act, Rolie also co-produced their first four groundbreaking albums. What's more, his singing talents will forever be immortalized by his unforgettable lead vocals on classic Santana greatest hits including "Black Magic Woman", "Evil Ways" and the Tito Puente composition "Oye Como Va".
Thirty-five years after Gregg and Carlos fortuitously met in San Francisco, the year 2001 marked the release of Rolie's third solo album ROOTS, featuring the lead track "Give It To Me". The first-ever release on Bay Area-based Tower Records' new proprietary label 33rd Street, and Rolie's first CD following a several year personal hiatus. ROOTS find Gregg revisiting the incredible brew of sounds he helped conjure up in the late '60's. Recalling those heady days, he remembers "It was an amazing time. We created something that no one could fathom…it was about the rhythms and solos more than the songs. It wasn't Latin music, rock music, the blues—not any of the above. It was a combination of all of them". Rolie calls ROOTS' twelve original selections "Latin rock plus…the instrumentation is Latin percussion, with organ, guitar, horns, and lots of great solo work and songwriting", adding that "I really wanted to go all the way back to my Santana roots".
BLUE OYSTER CULT - SUNDAY, JULY 20, The 5th Annual Rock N Resort Music Festival 2008.
For nearly three decades, Blue Öyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work.
That tradition continues with the June 5, 2001, release of Curse of the Hidden Mirror on CMC International Records, a division of the Sanctuary Records Group. Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it's one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BOC was listed in VH1's countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.
Upon the release of BOC's self-titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-yet-heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BOC's canon includes three stone-cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" from 1976's Agents of Fortune, the pummeling "Godzilla" from 1977's Specters’ and the hypnotically melodic "Burnin' for You" from 1981's Fire of Unknown Origin. Other notable BÖC songs include "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Then Came the Last Days of May," "I Love the Night," "In Thee," "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," "Dominance and Submission," "Astronomy," "Black Blade" and "Shooting Shark."
Other Rock N Resort '08 national previously announced include: Creedence Clearwater Revisited, performing Sunday, July 20, and the Gin Blossoms performing Friday, July 18. Check Our Online Schedule for Full Bios, Photos and More.
