80’S NIGHT FEATURING THE ROMANTICSSPECIAL GUEST: TOMMY TUTONEOctober 12, 2018 at 8:00pmDougherty Valley Performing Arts Center

Celebrate the decade San Ramon became a City with a special 80’s Night! Dress in your best 80’s apparel, tease that hair and definitely add a scrunchy or two! Pre-show photo booth and costume contest will add to this great night of music.

The Romantics were bred on the mean streets of Detroit’s east side, they were inspired by the British punk invasion and their hometown rock scene. Nearly 30 years later they are still known for having created some of the most influential and beloved rock and roll of all time. In 1980 The Romantics released their debut LP, anchored by “What I Like About You,” “When I Look In Your Eyes” and a cover of The Kinks, Ray Davies’ “She’s Got Everything.” The album is an exemplary pop-rock period piece.

Tommy Tutone was an early-’80s power pop band led by vocalist Tommy Heath and guitarist Jim Keller. The group’s first single, 1980’s “Angel Say No,” charted on the American Top 40, yet it was 1981’s “867-5309/Jenny” that sent the group to the top of the charts. Peaking in early 1982, the single hit number four and went gold. Tommy Tutone also charted in the Top 40 with the release of their third album, 1983’s National Emotion.
