With a powerhouse voice and commanding stage presence, Frank and his band deliver an unforgettable experience, recreating the iconic sounds of these rock legends.
Smokin’ pays tribute to Boston with soaring vocals, intricate harmonies, and their signature layered guitar and keyboard effects that transport audiences straight to the band’s heyday. Expect to hear all the classics, including “More Than a Feeling,” “Don’t Look Back,” “Peace of Mind,” and “Smokin’.” Known for their electrifying performances at venues like the South Florida Fair, Daytona Beach Bandshell, and Live Nation's House of Blues, Smokin’ is a must-see act for Boston fans.
When the spotlight turns to Foreigner, the Forever Foreigner Experience brings the band’s multi-platinum hits to life with the energy and passion of their prime. Featuring hits like “Cold as Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” and the timeless ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is,” this tribute band perfectly captures the range, power, and charisma of a young Lou Gramm. Their set promises to thrill fans of all ages, blending rock anthems with crowd-pleasing pop hits from the '70s through the '90s.
