Huey Lewis and the News
Saturday, April 4 • 8:00 p.m. • Beasley Coliseum
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 group’s contagious brand of straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll 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 a place on the pop history map. These Grammy Award winners have written and performed such classic Top Ten hits as “Heart of Rock and 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 Award, went all the way to No. 1 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 unique sound.
