Remember the thrill of standing in line for hours, eagerly awaiting tickets to see your favorite band roll into town? The excitement of snagging that perfect seat on show day, sharing stories with fellow fans as the adrenaline coursed through you? Think back to those unforgettable moments of skipping school to catch a rising star at the Paramount, where every note felt like a shared secret between you and the band.Picture the days when you could witness legends like Journey, Aerosmith, and Bon Jovi, sometimes even sharing the same bill, all for just five bucks! Those were the days when live music was pure magic, and every concert was a memory waiting to happen.
Arena expertly captures the essence of not just these legendary bands, but a whole roster of rock icons that could have easily shared the same stage. From the electrifying anthems of KISS, AC/DC, and Van Halen to the melodic brilliance of Def Leppard, Styx, and Pat Benatar, Arena’s setlist is a treasure trove of unforgettable hits. Bringing you the soaring sounds of Scorpions, the timeless anthems of Queen, the powerhouse riffs of Whitesnake, the classic vibes of Toto, the infectious energy of Loverboy, and the heart-pounding tracks from Heart, Night Ranger, Joan Jett, and so many more.
But don’t confuse Arena with the spandex-and-wig-wearing glam rock bands saturating today’s music scene. Arena embodies the era when there was more grit than glam, favoring jeans over spandex, and delivering raw power over mere posing.
About the Band-
Not one, but two powerhouse vocalists front Arena: Darlene Tyler and Tina Hart, both seasoned professionals who have been captivating audiences for years. Their dynamic harmonies and magnetic stage presence consistently leave crowds in awe. Rounding out the front line is guitarist/vocalist Monty Smith, whose impressive track record as Music Director for numerous top-tier acts speaks volumes about his talent and expertise.
On the back end, Arena keeps the foundation rock solid with the one-two punch of Tommy Wall on bass and CJ McRae on drums. Both are not just talented musicians, but exceptional showmen who bring energy and charisma to every performance.
Part dance party, part communal sing-along, and part concert spectacle, join Arena for a night of Melodic Rock at its finest!
