Highmount, NY: * The "soundtrack of a generation" will spring to life when Creedence Clearwater Revisited plays the Belleayre Music Festival on Saturday, July 16 at 8 p.m.
Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo, " the original rhythm section of Creedence Clearwater Revival, will crank up classics like "Proud Mary," "Heard it Through the Grapevine," "Fortunate Son," "Who'll Stop the Rain" and a string of other hits that helped define an era.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (Stu on bass and Cosmo on drums) from the legendary group, launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform Creedence Clearwater Revival hits that are touchstones of the 1960s and '70s.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited now performs up to 100 shows a year and released the album "Recollection." The double live CD features passionate, authoritative version of 22 classic hits and was the result of public demand. Listeners of all ages know every tune as Creedence Clearwater Revisited takes the audience on a remarkable journey through rock-n-roll's most glorious period.
The reaction to Creedence Clearwater Revisited's concerts has been astounding. Interestingly, the success has been driven in part by a generation of kids who, as Cosmo says, "weren't even born when the music came out."
Stu recalls, "In the beginning Cosmo and I decided that if we could find the musicians that could capture the sound and recreate what the music was about, we'd do it."
As fans who have experienced a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert can attest, Stu and Cosmo found the right players. Lead singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao, a powerful tenor with the energy to power songs, initially rose to prominence as lead singer for the band People when their hit "I Love You" bulleted into the top ten. The newest touring member of Creedence Clearwater Revisited is lead guitarist Kurt Griffey.
Stu and Cosmo and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited add a new chapter to their legacy with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure American spirit.
