Co-headliners, Kenny Cetera’s Chicago Experience, brand new show along with returning favorite, The Long Run, Experience the Eagles; will provide fans a tribute evening on opening night, Saturday June 28, under the stars to some of the best music ever written in classic rock history.  

 

These two Power-house Tribute Bands to their iconic legends will launch the 2014 season at the Big Bear Discovery Center Amphitheater; a fund-raiser in its 9th Season themed Help Heal the Forest with Music raising thousands of dollars to help restore and sustain the San Bernardino mountains loved by their legions of fans.  Music in the Mountains is presented by new sponsor, Big Bear Vacations, and produced by the nonprofit Southern California Mountains Foundation.   www.thelongrun.net; www.kennycetera.com

“We’re so excited to open with a tribute to the band Chicago that earned the distinction of being the best-selling group in the 1970s,” shared Kathy Clapsaddle, event producer for Southern California Mountains Foundation.  “Kenny Cetera has an undying passion for the music and the earlier material that made Peter, his brother, and the band famous around the world.  Along with that distinctive Cetera voice, Kenny has surrounded himself with world-class musicians who share their appreciation for this music to bring an infectious excitement to an all-ages friendly show that you won't want to end!” she added.

 

In 1984, Kenny added his unmistakable tenor vocals to several songs on the Chicago 17 album - including the chart-topping You’re The Inspiration, Along Comes A Woman, and Prima Donna - and was quickly recruited by the band to hit the road for one of the most memorable tours in their history. Adding a vocal element that the band never had live before, the two Cetera voices together (along with lead singer and brother, Peter) and playing drums, percussion and keyboards, Kenny became a large part of the stage show, a fan favorite, and permanently ingrained in the musical heritage of CHICAGO.

Co-headlining the show will be returning favorite and Signature Band of Music in the Mountains, The Long Run, Experience the Eagles.  Featured earlier this year as the World’s Greatest Tribute Band as voted by their legions of fans and performed live at the Whiskey in Hollywood before a national audience via AXS Cable Network, The Long Run will again grace the Discovery Center stage with over 75 minutes of the best music of The Eagles.  They consistently deliver the lush harmonies and rich instrumental arrangements that made The Eagles an unforgettable part of rock history.
