ROCK LEGENDS AEROSMITH JOIN STAR-STUDDED LINEUP AT 4TH OF JULY GREENBRIER CLASSIC CONCERT SERIES
[White Sulphur Springs, WV] The Greenbrier, the classic American resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV, has announced that rock ‘n’ roll legends Aerosmith will join the already star-studded musical lineup, including country music superstar Kenny Chesney, at The Greenbrier Classic Concert Series, July 1-7, 2013.
The Concert Series, which coincides with the fourth annual PGA TOUR FedEx Cup Event, The Greenbrier Classic, will be capped by Aerosmith’s performance at 8:30pm on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at the State Fair of West Virginia amphitheater in Fairlea. Kenny Chesney's concert is scheduled for 8:30pm on Thursday, July 4, 2013. Tickets for both concerts are included with The Greenbrier Classic tournament badges priced from $159 and available for purchase HERE (concert tickets not sold separately).
Aerosmith, the best-selling American rock ‘n’ roll band of all time (with more than 150 million albums sold worldwide), is fronted by lead singer Steven Tyler, with Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. These Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, who also hold the record for the most gold and multi-platinum albums by any American musical group, have been selling out arenas around the world for more than 40 years. The legendary rockers are currently on tour with “The Global Warming World Tour” in support of their latest hit album, Music from Another Dimension!
“What could be better than having the most legendary American band of all time rock the 4th of July weekend at America’s Resort?” asks Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier. “Aerosmith has provided the soundtrack of American summers for decades, just as The Greenbrier has been the ultimate summer retreat for generations—and both have never been better!”
