Classic rock legends on Reno-Tahoe stages this fall
Looking to relive the 1970s and 1980s this fall? There's no shortage of options. Classic rock fans in Northern Nevada might remember hearing these hitmakers on KOZZ back in the day (and might have heard them on KOZZ last week, for that matter). From arena singalongs and Southern rock staples to funk legends and guitar heroes, the coming weeks feature artists whose catalogs helped define FM radio in the 1970s, '80s and beyond. Foreigner brings enduring hits such as "Juke Box Hero" and "I Want to Know What Love Is," while 38 Special continues to fly the flag for Southern melodic rock under longtime frontman Don Barnes. Shock-rock pioneer Alice Cooper returns with a set that mixes fan favorites and deeper cuts, and Canadian icons Triumph and April Wine team up for a rare double bill. The calendar also includes Oakland funk institution Tower of Power, Dweezil Zappa's celebration of his father's music, yacht-rock favorites Pablo Cruise and country-rock star Dwight Yoakam. For longtime music fans, it's a season built on nostalgia, musicianship and songs that have stood the test of time. Here's the lineup for November and December on Reno-Tahoe stages.
