You’re invited to join the Creedence Clearwater Collective for a night of Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty, as they celebrate the music of one of the world’s most iconic bands – from the songs they wrote, to the songs covered, to the songs they wrote for others.
From their album debut in 1968 to their last album in 1972, Creedence Clearwater Revival was a juggernaut of phenomenal proportions. No other band has created such an impact in such a short time.
The Creedence Clearwater Collective, a real-life travelling band, captures the unique CCR sound. You don’t want to hear through the grapevine that you missed out on this fun, hit-packed live concert.
Wilson Dixon is known to many as the greatest country singer Cripple Creek has ever produced - as well as the only country singer Cripple Creek has ever produced. Whichever way you look at it, it’s a pretty good achievement.
Life of late has been fun* for Wilson navigating his way through the pandemic denying QAnon believing alt right leaning members of his own family.
*Use of the word “fun" in the previous sentence is heavily nuanced.
Join Wilson for an intimate hour as he performs his brand-new show with brand new songs about his unfortunately not brand new extended family.
(p.s. expect a few new stories about his binge eating angry horse Andrew).
