John Ford Coley is coming to town, June 6

As a big fan of music, and mostly before 2000s’ music, I was excited to interview John Ford Coley last week. If you like the ‘70s music, you will probably recognize the name John Ford Coley, most commonly known as half of the Grammy-nominated duo England Dan & John Ford Coley. John has seen major success in the music industry, written and recorded many notable hits, shared the stage with musical legends and even had an acting career in the ‘80s.

 John and England Dan released many albums and singles together. One of the most notable and recognized is, “I'd Really Love To See You Tonight.” This song is also a song that has one of the most misquoted lyrics in it as well. They met while in high school and became a duo. Unfortunately, after success, they disbanded in the ‘80s. England Dan passed away with lymphoma in 2009. 

John had continued after the disbandment and went into a film career. John has continued with singing, writing and performing. On June 6 at the Mansion Theatre, John will be performing with Ambrosia, Peter Beckett and Elliott Lurie. This performance is being named, "Yacht Rock The Dock."

I will be diving deeper into our interview after the concert. I'm looking forward to this event. So, come join in on the fun and let the music take you back to a simpler time!

Remember this show is June 6, 2025, for one night only at The Mansion Theatre, 189 Expressway Lane, Branson.
