Neil Berg returns to the Van Wezel by popular demand bringing all-star talent to the stage with 50 Years of Rock & Roll: Part III on Friday, November 1, 2019 at 8 p.m. With a cast of rock & roll singers and stars from Broadway favorites and rock musicals, Neil Berg tells the incredible story of the 50-year history of rock & roll - the music that forever changed the industry.

From Bruce Springsteen to Fleetwood Mac, New Wave to Journey, Led Zeppelin to Janis Joplin and more, Neil Berg's 50 Years of Rock & Roll pays tribute to music industry icons, all while telling their stories and showcasing groundbreaking music throughout the decades.

The talented rock & roll singers taking the stage for this performance include Brook Wood, Kareema Khouri, Dan Domenech and Danny Zolli.
