Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Long, Long Way From Home” and the worldwide #1 hit, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” FOREIGNER   still rocks the charts 50 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard album chart success.  Audio and video streams of FOREIGNER’s hits are approaching 20 million per week. Founded in 1976, FOREIGNER‘s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.”  The album  Double Vision  followed, as did a string of hits including “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give FOREIGNER‘s   next album,  4,  its impressive run at #1 on the  Billboard  chart. At the zenith of 80’s sound, FOREIGNER‘s fifth album,  Agent Provocateur , gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This musical milestone followed the record-breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” FOREIGNER‘s founder is Songwriters Hall of Fame member Mick Jones. A visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks and multi-layered talents were the cornerstone of his band’s success. Jones reformed the band after a 2002 hiatus and followed the same formula that he used in 1976 when he founded the original FOREIGNER.  Once again, he surrounded himself with the very best musicians he could find and led FOREIGNER into the digital era while inspiring a whole new generation of fans.  FOREIGNER’s lineup for our unplugged events is lead singer Luis Carlos Maldonado, noted Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, and guitarist Bruce Watson.  An unprecedented new level of energy has led the group to a re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to FOREIGNER‘s enduring popularity. With renewed vitality and direction, FOREIGNER hit the  Billboard  charts again with the 2005 release of their live Greatest Hits album,  Extended Versions.   Can’t Slow Down  followed in 2009 and entered the  Billboard  chart in the Top 30, driven by two Top 20 radio singles, “In Pieces” and “When It Comes To Love.”  To follow was the release of the band’s three-disc set,  Feels Like The First Time,  which included an acoustic CD with an intimate and unique re-interpretation of many FOREIGNER classics, studio re-records by the new lineup and a live performance DVD showcasing the group’s exceptional live energy. FOREIGNER’s music has experienced another surge in popularity in recent years thanks to usage in primetime television, major motion pictures, video games, advertising, and digital content. Films such as  Rock of Ages, Bad Moms, Angry Birds, Magic Mike, Pitch Perfect,   Good Boys,   The Eternals , and  Happy Gilmore 2 , and television shows  Orange Is The New Black, Stranger Things, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Tacoma FD, Wednesday, and Euphoria  have all strongly featured Foreigner’s songs.
