About One of These Nights - The Songs of The Eagles:
https://www.eaglescoverband.com/

The time… the early '70s.
The place… a dark desert highway.
The setting… the famous Hotel California which according to the legend is the place “you can never leave.”
Of course, you will never want to leave as the familiar chart-topping music of The Eagles: Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh fills the room with the songs loved by generations for more than 40 years.
Inside the Hotel California you will find the Tequila Sunrise Ballroom where a six piece band performs to perfection. The Eagles greatest hits such as, “Take It Easy” to “Get Over it.” The male vocalist will “Take You To The Limit,” with his dynamic version of “Witchy Woman” and “Heartache Tonight.”

With five number one singles and four number one albums, The Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970’s. At the end of the 20th Century, two of those albums, “Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)” and “Hotel California,” ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, according to the certifications of the Record Industry Association of America.

Though most of its members came from outside of California, the group was closely identified with a country- and folk –tinged sound that initially found favor in and around Los Angeles in the late 60’s, as played by bands such as, ‘The Flying Burito Brothers’ and ‘Poco’, which both contributed members to ‘The Eagles.’ The band also drew upon traditional rock n’ roll styles and in their later work helped defined the broadly popular rock sound, eventually referred to as Classic Rock.  This helped The Eagles to achieve a perennial appeal among the generations of music fans who continued to buy their records many years after they had split up, which inspired the reunion they mounted in the mid-90’s. The Eagles were inducted into the Hall of Fame in January 1983.

The Eagles released their first album in 28 years in October 2007 and the new touring schedule to promote this album is guaranteed to spark a resurgence in The Eagles music.

- CHERRY BOMB is now COUGAR ADAMS!
​
The band is very excited to announce that beginning this year, Cherry Bomb will be adding the sounds of Bryan Adams with songs such as Somebody, This Time, Run to You along with the current band song, Summer of 69!  Therefore our band name will change from Cherry Bomb to Cougar Adams.  So don't be confused, we will continue to play our John Cougar Mellencamp hits but now with the addition of Bryan Adam's hits.

Performing for audiences since 2008, "Cougar Adams" is a powerful 6 piece band dedicated to the music of "heartland rocker" John Cougar Mellencamp and Bryan Adams. The song list includes familiar tunes such as "Jack and Diane", "Hurts So Good", "I Need a Lover", "Summer of 69", "Cuts Like a Knife", "Somebody" as well as other hit songs from both Cougar and Adams. You as a listener will be awe-struck as you hear the lead singer, KC aka Casey Corrigan, take on the same powerful, heartaching voice as John Cougar Mellencamp and Bryan Adams.

The band behind the man presents backup vocals, guitars, bass, keyboard, saxophone, synth, percussion and drums that will leave you wondering if it isn't Mellencamp's or Adam's band in disguise! The songs this band plays will get under your skin and penetrate your soul.
