If you look at the picture of Foreigner that accompanies this 2018 Jukebox Heroes tour stop and the faces you see look a little, well, foreign, you probably aren’t the only one. The only remaining original member of the classic-rock juggernaut that brought us hits like “Feels Like The First Time,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl,” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” in the 1970s and ’80s is guitarist Mick Jones. Singer Lou Gramm is long gone, and a new cast of characters, including singer Kelly Hansen, now surround Jones onstage. But this isn’t some fading nostalgia act; Jones is largely responsible for just about every note Foreigner ever played, and the notorious perfectionist has built a band that can handle the classic hits, and an occasional new tune, as well as or better than the classic lineup. Hansen, in particular, is a frontman to be reckoned with, sporting a solid-gold set of pipes and charming onstage charisma. –Vincent Harris female artists of all time. With hits like “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “Proud Mary,” “Because You Loved Me,” “Jolene,” and “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” I’m Every Woman spans generations and celebrates the strong women who have paved the way for female artists of today. At intermission, enjoy champagne and desserts from Greenville’s finest dining spots, all included in the price of your ticket. www.centrestage.org
