Eagles Tribute Band is the ticket for Labor Day Weekend
By Tom Peterson
The Gorge is in for some easy-going California Country Rock as Eagles tribute band Hotel California is set to hit the stage in The Dalles on Saturday, Sept. 3rd, smack dab in the middle of Labor Day weekend.
So, if you're running down the road, trying to loosen your load, remember to lighten up while you still can. Don’t even try to understand.
Just buy some tickets and make your stand and take it easy … at Lewis & Clark Festival Park.
Doors open at 4 p.m. Music starts at 5 p.m.
“A spirited blend of originality and the pursuit of excellence have taken Hotel California, “A Salute to the Eagles” to a level of recognition normally reserved for Gold and Platinum recording artists,” according to the band’s press information.
“By respectfully and accurately reproducing the Grammy award-winning sounds of our generation’s Greatest American Songbook, this legendary Southern California group, has touched the hearts of fans all over the world,” it continues. “It is the most successful and longest-running show of it’s kind, and the ONLY show to have ever received “Official Authorization” to perform the Eagles catalog of music.”
Nolan Hare, Steve Kane, and Matt Larsen are the push behind the show, which is being heavily supported by local businesses.
“The Eagles have a unique sound,” said Nolan Hare today, Aug. 10. “It is just really relatable to just about anybody,” noting the great storytelling. “And the production on this tribute band's sound, lights, and video is top notch. It’s the whole thing. It’s the whole experience.”
With a vast catalog of songs that includes Wasted Time, I Can’t Tell You Why, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Desperado, One of These Nights, Lyin’ Eyes, it is easy to see how The Eagles were able to catapult to one of the most successful bands in history in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
And it is from this incredible well of music that Hotel California drinks and rekindles the cool evening California dessert magic that makes time disappear and sends a shiver up your spine like a welcome breeze.
“We are so excited to do another big event since everyone got locked down,” Hare said.
It takes a village to bring this kind of talent and performance to The Dalles and Mid-Columbia.
