Ridgefield Playhouse to Welcome Rick Springfield, 2/26

Rick Springfield is totally a Renaissance man with so many skill sets -- TV star, musician, Broadway actor and New York Times Best-Selling Author. He is bringing his acclaimed "Stripped Down" solo acoustic show to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Thursday, February 26, at 8 p.m. Having sold 25 million albums to date, Springfield became an international star with his Grammy Award-winning, "Jessie's Girl", plus "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "An Affair of the Heart". A gifted songwriter with 17 Top 40 hits including "I've Done Everything for You", "Love Somebody" and "Human Touch", Springfield released Songs for the End of the World (2012), which is jam packed with personal lyrics and catchy hooks that demonstrate an evolution in this songwriter's depth. Pam from WPLRs "Chaz & AJ In The Morning" show will be on hand to lead a Q&A so the audience can speak directly to Rick after the concert! Special guest is American songwriter Tad Kubler, best known for his work in The Hold Steady and a composer for film and television. A Wild Turkey and American Honey tasting courtesy of Campari America starts at 7:15 p.m. in the lobby. To make going to the Playhouse even more special, Gallo Ristorante (5 Grove St., Ridgefield) will pour a complimentary glass of house wine with dinner the night of the show when ticket is presented.
