PRESENTS PARTY 2011 WITH HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31

Richmond, BC – It's been almost thirty years since Huey Lewis and The News graduated from Bay Area bars to the top of the Billboard charts with their rollicking brand of soulful rock 'n' roll. Formed in 1979 and originally called Huey Lewis and The American Express, the band released their self-titled debut album in 1980 followed two years later by Picture This which spawned the Top Ten hit, "Do You Believe in Love." In 1983, they released Sports which hit #1 on the Album chart and featured “I Want a New Drug,” “The Heart of Rock “N Roll” and “If This Is It.” Their first #1 single, "The Power of Love" appeared on the Back to the Future soundtrack in 1985. Their second #1 album, Fore! was released the following year and produced the hit singles, “Stuck with You,” “Hip to Be Square” and “Jacob’s Ladder.” They went on to release several albums through the 90’s.

In 2005, the band celebrated their 25th anniversary with Live at 25 … a CD & DVD set that was recorded in Chico, California. They went on to record the theme song for Seth Rogen’s 2008 film, Pineapple Express. This November, they'll be releasing their new album, Soulsville. Recorded at historic Ardent Studios in Memphis, the album features fourteen classic songs from the vault of Stax Records including “Respect Yourself” and “Got To Get You Off My Mind.” Lewis has also enjoyed success as an actor on both screen and stage having starred in the feature film, Duets and in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Chicago. And just recently, he guest starred on TV Land’s hit sitcom, Hot in Cleveland. Huey Lewis and The News still enjoy performing to sold-out audiences throughout North America and will be appearing at River Rock Casino Resort on New Year’s Eve.
