Area Entertainment: Atlanta Rhythm Section and Firefall for a night to remember

Atlanta Rhythm Section

The story of the Atlanta Rhythm Section began in Doraville, GA, a small town northeast of Atlanta, in 1970.

They’ve recorded some of the most indelible pop songs of the ‘70s including timeless classics like “Spooky” (a remake of the Classic IV's 1968 hit), “So into You,” “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight” and “Imaginary Lover,” amongst many others, along with classic, chart-topping albums like Champagne Jam, Dog Days and Rock and Roll Alternative.

The band is known for its smooth, soulful sound that’s filled with catchy hooks and memorable melodies. But they can also rock it up in their inimitable Southern-fried style, while also incorporating jazz and blues licks into their repertoire.

Firefall

Firefall formed in Boulder, Colorado, in 1974. The band was founded by Rick Roberts, who had been in the Flying Burrito Brothers, and guitarist Jock Bartley, who had been the late Tommy Bolin's (James Gang/Deep Purple) replacement in the band, Zephyr. 

The band's biggest hit single, "You Are the Woman", peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard charts in 1976. Other hits included "Just Remember I Love You" (No. 11 in 1977), "Strange Way” (No. 11 in 1978), "Cinderella" (No. 34 in 1977), "Headed for a Fall" (No. 35 in 1980), and "Staying with It" (No. 37 in 1981).

Bartley has remained the band’s sole constant member over the years, as the band has continued to tour and maintain the credibility and legacy of Firefall while doing so.

Inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2015, the current version of the band has been touring steadily since 2014, much to the delight of the band’s loyal audience.

These two great bands will be performing along with Jefferson Starship & Pure Prairie League. This will definitely be a concert to remember!
