On June 7 and 8, at 8 p.m. in the Christopher Cohan Center, The Moody Blues -- with original members Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge – return to the Central Coast for a special Center Stage Event, presented by Cal Poly Arts and Otter Productions, Inc. Tickets for both concert performances are on sale now at the Performing Arts Center Ticket Office. “I suppose that it is our songs and the way we interpret them that has seen us travel so far,” says The Moody Blues’ Justin Hayward. “It means so much to us that some of our recordings have really meant something to people.” “It’s all about the music,” says Graeme Edge. “The music is everything for us. We’ve always put the music before anything else, and that’s why I think we’ve been able to endure for so long.” The Cohan Center engagement is part of a nationwide tour, showcasing The Moody Blues' classic rock hits, such as “Nights In White Satin," "Ride My See Saw," "The Story In Your Eyes," "Isn’t Life Strange," "Question," "I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)" and "Your Wildest Dreams." “We found early success in an era when freedom of expression was everything,” remembers Hayward. “Then it became important for us to capture that moment of inspiration and that spark of magic that we had found through songwriting and recording, and to re-live it with an audience every time we go on stage. That is a feeling I personally never want to give up having,” continues Hayward. “We’re so glad to be on this journey.” Tickets for the performance range from $50 - $85 and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Ticket Office, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
