FIREFALL & Orleans

PRESENTED BY MANSHIP THEATRE PROGRAMMING

Two legendary bands, one iconic evening of yacht rock! 

The genealogy and musical roots of FIREFALL run deep into the fertile soil of American rock and folk rock music. It began with Woodie Guthrie and later, Bob Dylan, evolving into the Byrds and the Buffalo Springfield. The genre established by these luminaries continued with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Manassas, The Band, Neil Young, The Eagles, Poco, Loggins and Messina, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris, Dan Fogelberg, America and FIREFALL. Many of these participants mingled in the studio and on tour. Individually and collectively they created a sound that changed the world's musical landscape. FIREFALL is one of the few surviving bands of this genre, remaining true to its founding vision and roots despite personnel changes over its 40+ year history. The band transcends and embraces many industrial labels- rock, soft rock, country rock, contemporary country, easy listening and Americana.

Platinum hit-makers ORLEANS are now celebrating 50 YEARS of live performances! Praised and respected by their peers for their songwriting skills, instrumental prowess and classic trademark harmonies, their iconic radio hits, including “Still The One,” “Dance With Me” and “Love Takes Time,” still resonate with audiences of all ages thanks to continued airplay on Classic Rock radio, television, film and streaming services. ORLEANS have produced a body of work spanning 17 albums and several DVDs ... and they continue to be in demand for live shows, as they have been for nearly 5 decades. Since their humble beginnings in Woodstock NY and throughout countless worldwide tours, Orleans have set some very high standards. Here in 2022 and beyond, Orleans continue to meet and exceed those standards at every show, to the delight of audiences everywhere.

All patrons, regardless of age, must have a ticket to attend performances. Please carefully consider whether a performance is appropriate for children before planning to attend.
