Ruth Eckerd Hall presents Foreigner for two special acoustic concerts on Saturday, March 27 at 8 pm and Sunday, March 28 at 8 pm. In the interest of public health and safety, both shows will be presented at 50% capacity. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 18 at 10 am. The concert will feature the six-piece band in a performance of vocal excellence and stellar musicianship that brings a fresh and vital approach to their timeless hits.
Foreigner is a British-American rock band, originally formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran British guitarist and songwriter Mick Jones, and fellow Briton and ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald, along with American vocalist Lou Gramm. Jones came up with the band’s name as he, McDonald and Dennis Elliott were British, while Gramm, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi were American.
Foreigner’s Lead singer Kelly Hansen had this to say: ‘It was refreshing to find a venue that cared so much about the safety and health of its audience and artists. We greatly look forward to returning to Ruth Eckerd Hall. These reduced capacity shows will allow us to present an especially intimate show that rocks.”
In addition to frequent multi-layer sanitization of the venue, new XONAR technology has been installed that uses thermal imaging sensors to detect elevated body temperature. Appropriate face coverings will be required inside the facility, contact is being minimized and hand sanitizer stations are readily available.
