ABOUT DIGITAL PROGRAMS

The Gallo Center has adopted the use of digital programs meant to be viewed on cell phones or other computer devices. This change has important public health, environmental and economic benefits: reducing close contacts between patrons and ushers, cutting our use of paper, and eliminating substantial printing costs. View the program only before shows begin or during intermissions. Please be considerate of other patrons and artists on stage by not viewing it during performances. Patrons who do not observe this courtesy and create distractions may be asked to leave. Thank you!

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

The Gallo Center for the Arts is a non-profit performing arts center with a deep commitment to enriching the people and communities of California’s vast San Joaquin Valley. From the scintillating performances of its wonderful resident companies, to the great variety of world-class entertainment presented by the Center each season, to robust arts education programs for the region’s youth, this is where the magic happens.

From the beginning, the Center’s mission has been clearly defined: to provide an inspirational civic gathering place where regional, national, and international cultural activities illuminate, educate, and entertain. Since revenue from ticket sales and facility rentals only covers a portion of the costs associated with fulfilling this mission, the Center is dependent on the generous annual financial support from donors and program sponsors within our community.

Prepare for a soul-stirring, nostalgic concert experience at the Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour of the legendary Righteous Brothers.

The Righteous Brothers Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour promises a captivating musical odyssey, spanning the early days of rock and roll, the era of Blue-Eyed Soul and as far reaching as the movie Dirty Dancing. From heartwarming ballads to energetic rock anthems, every performance is a testament to the enduring power of The Righteous Brothers’ music and their connection to fans across the globe.

Take a journey through decades of timeless hits that have defined a generation, including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin,’” “Unchained Melody,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” “Soul and Inspiration,” “Ebb Tide,” and “Rock and Roll Heaven.”

Bill Medley has been entertaining audiences for more than sixty years. His iconic bassbaritone helped earn The Righteous Brothers their place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and is interwoven with the cherished memories of a lifetime of fans.

A message from Bill Medley:

If you had told me, as a 16-year-old kid from Santa Ana, California, that I’d have a 60+ year career in music, I’d have thought you were nuts. Sure, it was the dream while I was writing songs when I should have been doing my homework, but I never imagined having the opportunity to write, record, perform, and travel the world with my best friend, my little brother Bobby (Hatfield). I’ve worked with and learned from the best, most incredible talents, and connected with an all-around fantastic group of people.

When Bobby died, a part of me knew I’d feel that hole in my heart forever. I thought the Righteous Brothers were over. But it wasn’t until I heard Bucky Heard 10 years later that I realized I wasn’t ready to give up what Bobby and I created together as The Righteous Brothers. “I’ve Had The Time of My Life” returning to the stage with Bucky, and it is my honor and pleasure to bring songs that mean just so very much to audiences everywhere.

I can’t very well embark on a “farewell tour” without acknowledging some extraordinary people. I offer my sincerest thanks and admiration to Little Richard and Ray Charles for their guidance, influence, and inspiration. For their friendship and support, I offer my deepest gratitude to my friend, Elvis Presley,

and my Manager of sixty years, David Cohen.

Thank you to all the musicians who have put up with me for all these years, on stage and off, for their time, talents, friendship, and devotion to the show. We’ve logged over a million miles on the road!

To anyone who bought a record, has come to a show over the years, who I have met backstage, thank you!

To all the agents, promoters, stage crews, and venue staff, we couldn’t have done it without you, thank you!

Thank you to my family for putting up with 60 years of me living my dream. I love you!

You know, “If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand.” This isn’t farewell, but I am grateful to you for coming to see us play near you this one last time.

I’ve had one helluva ride and one hell of a band!

With love and gratitude,

Blue-eyed soul pioneers The Righteous Brothers are back! With a string of #1 classics, including the most played song in radio history, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts in four decades. After Bobby’s death in 2003, Bill Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world, but fans and friends pleaded with him to keep The Righteous Brothers alive.

The Bill Medley/Bucky Heard pairing came as something of a happy accident. Medley says it just seemed right, “He fits The Righteous Brothers live performance show perfectly. And, we’ve even recorded some new material together, I’m reaIly excited! “

Bill Medley is truly one of the iconic figures in American music history. His instantly recognizable baritone voice has anchored some of the biggest recordings of all time. He’s won a Grammy, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and an American Music Award. Always active and stretching his creative talents, Medley has also sung on the soundtracks or performed the theme songs for 33 movies and TV shows and, in 2014, released his memoir, The Time of My Life, published by Da Capo Press.
