It’s been over 53 years since anyone had to ask: What’s a Foghat?”
The reason no one asks anymore is obvious. Foghat is a band. In 2024, Foghat turned 53 years old. In November of 2023, they released a new album titled Sonic Mojo which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and as of this writing has stayed in the Top Ten for over 17 Weeks!
CACTUS featuring Carmine Appice: They were called “The American Led Zeppelin” back in 1970. Tall words, indeed, but CACTUS – Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert, Jim McCarty and the late Rusty Day (who died in 1982) – came out only months after their Brit counterparts, only to flame out brightly after four albums, Cactus, One Way… Or Another, ‘Ot ‘n’ Sweaty and Restrictions, before 1973 even started. Now, four decades later, the band that made such an impression with their loud blues-edged hard rock madness, the band that influenced the likes of Van Halen, Joe Bonamassa, David Coverdale and Kid Rock, the band that foreshadowed heavy music itself, are back.
Special Guest Kunes Clark Band: Kunes Clark Band is singer/songwriter Jimmy Kunes (Cactus, Savoy Brown, Humble Pie) and guitarist/songwriter Angus Clark (Cher, Joe Lynn Turner, Trans-Siberian Orchestra). The two musicians have known each other for nearly two decades and have performed together in numerous projects in and around New York City. Now both residents of Essex County, New Jersey, they decided to take care of some unfinished business and make an album of material, some brand new, and some based on material they demoed 14 years ago. The result is a mix of classic heavy rock and blues that is sure to please fans of Led Zeppelin, the Black Crowes, and Rival Sons. Rounding out the lineup for this album are drummer Van Romaine and bassist Winston Roye, along with keyboardists Rob Clores and John Deley.
Catch the concert on January 18, 2025 at 8 pm at the Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center.
