Syracuse,
NY – February 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Bad Company will perform
the first big show of the 2019 Great
New York State Fair’s Chevrolet Music Festival at Chevy Court when
rock legends and band co-founders Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke take the
stage at 8 p.m. August 21. Their timeless hits include “Can’t Get Enough,”
“Bad Company,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” “Rock and Roll
Fantasy” and the smash hit “All Right Now” from Rodgers’ and Kirke’s band
Free. The Chevy Court show will be the band’s only show in New York State
on its 15-city tour. Rodgers and Kirke will be joined by guitarist Howard
Leese (formerly of Heart) and bassist Todd Ronning. This is the first of
more than two dozen shows by national touring groups that will take place
at Chevy Court
and on the Experience
Stage.
“If you want to see one of
the great rock bands and hear one of the great rock singers of all time,
the Fair is the place to be. This will be a great show, one of many to
come, as we create what may be the biggest and greatest lineup in our history.
Don’t miss the first big party of the Fair,” said Fair Director Troy Waffner.
