SUMMARY:Lowell Summer Music Series: Classic Albums Live: David Bowie- The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
DESCRIPTION:Classic Albums Live and its roster of A-list musicians from across the country will be performing David Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” exactly as you remember hearing it\, note for note\, cut for cut. Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin\, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage – note for note\, cut for cut\, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital\,” says Martin\, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations\, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album\,” says Martin. With 100+ shows a year across North America\, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centres and theatres. Fans in Texas\, Las Vegas\, Florida\, New York and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining\, successful show. “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote – ‘note for note\, cut for cut’ accuracy.” And as the encore\, get ready for a selection of Bowie’s greatest hits\, promising an unforgettable evening celebrating the enduring brilliance of one of music’s legends. \nDavid Bowie’s 1972 masterpiece\, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars\,” is a seminal concept album that follows the story of Ziggy Stardust\, a rock star who serves as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. Bowie’s alter ego\, Ziggy\, becomes a symbol of rebellion and freedom in a dystopian world. The album features iconic tracks such as “Starman\,” “Suffragette City\,” “Moonage Daydream\,” and the title track “Ziggy Stardust\,” which blend glam rock\, proto-punk\, and avant-garde influences to create a theatrical and innovative sound. This album achieved significant commercial success\, selling over two million copies worldwide. With its captivating narrative\, bold experimentation\, and Bowie’s charismatic performances\, “Ziggy Stardust” remains one of the most influential and enduring albums in the history of rock music. \n  \nAdvance GA $42.00 ($36.00 ticket + $6.00 service fee) \nAdvance Premium $97.00 ($86.00 ticket + $11.00 service fee)\n\nDay Of GA $53.00 ($46.00 ticket + $7.00 service fee)\nDay Of Premium $108.00 ($96.00 ticket + $12.00 service fee) \n  \nPremium Seats are low-to-the-ground chairs which we provide and are located in the first several rows for each show. Go to the seat map on the ticketing page for each show to see the actual layout. For photos\, please visit the the FAQ’s on the Lowell Summer Music Series website.  \nKids age 12 and under are admitted free (general admission seats only) if accompanied by a ticket holder\, courtesy of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union.*\n*If this show is moved indoors due to inclement weather\, there will be no free kids ticket promotions due to capacity limitations\, only paid ticket holders may attend.

SUMMARY:Tusk - The World's #1 Tribute to Fleetwood Mac
DESCRIPTION:TUSK – The World’s #1 Fleetwood Mac Tribute. Tusk is the number one Tribute to Fleetwood Mac in the world\, bar none. \nNo fancy tricks\, no gimmicks\, just five musicians recreating the music of Fleetwood Mac to perfection with note for note renditions that no other Fleetwood Mac tribute on the touring scene today can come close to duplicating. \nTusk covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac\, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood\, Christine and John McVie\, Lindsey Buckingham\, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The five seasoned\, well-respected musicians comprising Tusk have been making music together in various combinations and styles\, in original outfits and in cover bands\, for over twenty-five years. \nIt seemed only fitting that they should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute\, and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years. Authentic-sounding and always respectful\, Tusk leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved\, top-selling bands. \nhttps://fleetwoodmactribute.com/TUSK/
