Since its inception, Foreigner has been led by English journeyman rocker Mick Jones who, in early 1976, met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with Lou Gramm, Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood, and Ed Gagliardi as a sextet. Jones came up with the name from the fact he, McDonald, and Elliot were English, while Gramm, Greenwood, and Gagliardi were Americans.

Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums, and sold out concert tours. From "Cold As Ice" to "Hot Blooded", "Urgent to Jukebox Hero", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" to the chart topper "I Want to Know What Love is", Foreigner's thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. Today, over 70 million albums later, Foreigner is an ensemble of talented musicians each adding their individual credentials to the mix to make the band stronger and more powerful than ever.

Don't miss the opportunity to spend Valentine's Day with Foreigner at bergenPAC!

VALENTINE DOO-WOP AT THE BERGEN PAC

"The Satins, Brooklyn Bridge, Shirley Alston Reeves and More"
Valentine Doo-Wop is coming to the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Saturday, February 11th featuring Fred Parris & The Satins, The Return of the Brooklyn Bridge, Shirley Alston Reeves and more of your favorite doo wop groups.

Fred Parris and The Satins are best known for their song, "In the Still of the Night", which remains the definitive doo wop love song, and has frequently topped New York oldies giant WCBS-FM's fan survey for greatest record of all time.

The Return of The Brooklyn Bridge, known for its strong vocals and horn arrangements, released its debut album in 1969, scoring a top five hit and a gold record with "The Worst that Could Happen". By 1972, the Brooklyn Bridge had sold over 10 million records and established Johnny Maestro as one of the premier vocal talents of the era. In 2005, the Brooklyn Bridge was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

Hall of Famer Shirley Alston Reeves, co-founder and original lead vocalist for The Shirelles, will perform their all time favorites including Tonight's The Night (penned by Reeves), Baby It's You, the soulful sounding This Is Dedicated To The One I Love, Foolish Little Girl, and, of course, the group's 5 million selling hit, Soldier Boy.

Rounding out the bill are The Capris ("Moon Out Tonight", "Morse Code Of Love"), Vito Picone & The Elegants ("Little Star") and The Original Chimes ("Once In A While", "To The Aisle"). The evening is hosted by radio personality Alan David Stein, host of Doo Wop Drive on WMTR AM.
