George Thorogood and The Destroyers
Since 1975, for the past 5+ decades, over 8,000 live shows and more than 15 million albums sold, Delaware high-energy boogie-blues legends George Thorogood & The Destroyers have been “The All-American rock & roll party band” (Goldmine Magazine).
“To hear George Thorogood flail his slide up and down his guitar,” wrote Greil Marcus in Rolling Stone, “you might have thought he was Ben Franklin – that he’d discovered not the blues, but electricity.”“Playing rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world’s major population centers” (Rolling Stone), their "Baddest Show On Earth" tour is a stage-shaking, roof-raising, guitar-snarling blast.
In 1976, they debuted as the most explosive indie breakthrough act of the decade and throughout the ‘80s/’90s MTV era, Thorogood was the epitome of snakeskin & shades guitar-slinger cool.
With chart-topping hits like ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’, ‘Move It On Over’, ‘Who Do You Love?’, ‘I Drink Alone’, ‘Get A Haircut’ and the ultimate badass anthem ‘Bad To The Bone’, George & The Destroyers became cornerstones of Classic Rock while their album catalog continues to dominate streaming charts worldwide.
And whether it’s been their landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL or recent smash tours with John Fogerty, ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar, they remain among the most reliable/formidable concert acts on the planet.
“Don’t let anyone tell youth is gig won’t keep you energized,” “Thorogood says. “I defy bands half our age to put on a show like we do night after night.”
