George Thorogood and the Destroyers to Appear at the CCA

Capitol Center for the Arts (Concord, NH) will host GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS on Sunday, June 4 at 7:30pm.

Thorogood's "Rock Party Tour" promises to raise the bar, rock the house and tear off the roof like never before. He says, "We play for a different audience every night, and that keeps it fresh. There are people who've never seen us before, and we have to impress them. There are fans that keep coming back, and we want to surprise them. This is my job," he adds. "I've always loved it, and I love it now more than ever."

The group is also putting their talents to work by helping The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients, as they will be donating $1 from each ticket sale of their "Rock Party Tour" to LLS.

With more than 40 years of touring and recording, 15 million albums sold, and 8,000 live shows, George and his longtime band - Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) - remain among the most relentless and relevant classic rock acts on tour today. The band has amassed a catalog of hits that includes "Who Do You Love," "I Drink Alone," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," "Move It On Over," "Get A Haircut," and the anthemic, "Bad To The Bone." The band has released 16 studio albums - including six Gold and two Platinum discs on Rounder, EMI and Capitol - but it's their powerhouse live performances that have made GT&D legendary.

In addition to his work with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Thorogood show is also partnering with other area organizations. It has donated a pair of tickets and meet-n-greet opportunities to the Pope Memorial SPCA's fundraising brunch on Sunday,, May 7, 2017. Fans can win a pair of tickets by visiting the Heritage Harley-Davidson dealership in Concord shortly before the show. Finally, ttendees to the Capitol Center's fMay 24 Open House and BBQ can also enter a free raffle to win Thorogood merchandise.
