The American Rock band, Night Ranger, will take the stage at the Kent State Tuscarawas Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on May 16. The concert is co-sponsored by Mix 94.1 radio and Cats Miaow Nails by Mary Wills.
Night Ranger started when five hard-rockin’ kids from the San Francisco Bay Area joined forces in the early 80’s to form a band that epitomized and transcended the sound and style of that decade.
In 1983, Night Ranger earned widespread acclaim with their multi-platinum album Midnight Madness, which included their smash hits "Sister Christian," "When You Close Your Eyes" and the anthemic "(You Can Still) Rock In America.” Over the years, the band’s music has made notable contributions to and been featured in many different areas of media and popular culture. Night Ranger’s songs can be heard in the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games; Rock of Ages hit Broadway musical and film; the Oscar-nominated film Boogie Nights; FOX’s hit TV Show American Dad; JBL’s “Hear The Truth” campaign; and many more! The band also made a special guest appearance on ABC’s hit reality TV show, Bachelor Pad!
Night Ranger continues their non-stop touring, playing to sold-out crowds around the world, including stops in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Japan and the United States. Night Ranger is proof that powerful songs plus accomplished musicians is the perfect formula for continued success.
