MAX Presents the 23rd Byron Bay Bluesfest
|
Bluesfest, Australia’s multi-award winning Music Festival has made its final 2012 artist announcement, including the superb addition of a 2nd John Fogerty show on Monday 9th of April.
Fogerty is going to perform in full one of 2 classic Creedence albums, which is either his favourite Creedence album ‘ Green River’ or Creedence’s biggest hit album ‘Cosmo’s Factory’. Then, to top it off, after he has performed the album from start to finish, he is going to play all the Creedence Clearwater hits for the first time since the band split, in a special 2 hour show featuring multimedia presentations.
It will be a revelation to hear the classic “Swamp Pop” performed again by the main man of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band that took over from the Beatles as the biggest band in the world.
