Bad Moon Rising, a Classic Tributes Live band, invites you to take a trip down the Mississippi Delta as they pay tribute to one of the greatest rock bands North America has ever produced—Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR was an American roots rock band whose sound blended southern, country, and blues rock. This unique mix, along with the distinctive vocals, wailing guitar, and songwriting style of John Fogerty, gave birth to what became known as swamp rock, with CCR as its pioneers.
During a prolific four-year period between 1969 and 1971, CCR released fourteen consecutive top 10 singles and five consecutive top 10 albums, including two that reached number one. Bad Moon Rising will take you on a journey through the band’s headlining performance at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, their rise to fame, and their eventual acrimonious disbandment in 1972.
Join us as we travel with the band up around the bend, run through the jungle, and venture into the bayou—heading home to Green River. Let’s look out the backdoor, down on the corner, and watch the rain fall. Hey, tonight we’ll all be the fortunate ones, and proud as Mary!
Here’s what past guests have to say:
