Huey Lewis & The News 12th Anniversary Gala Ridgefield Playhouse October 23
“Heart and Soul,” the title of one of their hit songs, also explains the enduring appeal of Huey Lewis & The News. For over thirty years they have been making and performing hits like: “Heart of Rock and Roll”, “Power of Love”, “Hip To Be Square”, “Happy To Be Stuck With You” and more! Whether it is their singing about the daily grind in “Workin’ For A Livin’” or lamenting a troubled relationship in “If This Is It”, this is a band that connects with people on a gut level.
