Creedence Clearwater Revisited at Branson’s Welk Resort Theatre

Creedence Clearwater Revival founding members and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford are bringing their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited to Branson in September. Creedence Clearwater Revisited will perform at Branson’s Welk Resort Theatre on Sunday, September 17^th at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the Welk Resort Theatre Box Office; by phone at 417-337-7469; or on-line at www.sullivanshows.com.

Welk-Sullivan Productions executive producer Joe Sullivan made the concert announcement today. “I have been attempting to get Creedence Clearwater Revisited to our theatre for the past couple of years,” Sullivan said. “They have been one of our top two or three most requested groups. A number of people who saw them at Operation Homecoming last year told me they absolutely stole the show. I think we could easily sell out two shows, but they are available on this tour for only one show.”

Cook and Clifford launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 in order to perform live the Creedence Clearwater Rivival Hits – the touchstones of a generation. They initially planned to play hits such as “Bad Moon Rising,” “Green River,” “Down On The Corner,” “Lookin’ Out My Back Door,” “Proud Mary,” “Who’ll Stop The Rain” and more at private parties, but now they perform up to 100 shows per year. Their 2006 summer and fall tour around the United States and Canada includes appearances at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, two nights at Detroit’s DTE Energy Music Amphitheater, both the Ventura and Los Angeles County Fairs and Woodstock, New Brunswick’s Classic Rock Festival.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited features Cook on bass and “Cosmo” Clifford on drums; Steve Gunner on guitar, keyboards, vocals, percussion, and harmonica; Tal Morris, “the quintessential Bay Area guitar prodigy” who also toured with Huey Lewis and The News, on guitar; and John Tristao, a powerful tenor, is the lead singer/rhythm guitar player.

“In the beginning Cosmo and I decided that if we could find the musicians that could capture the sound and recreate what the music was about, we’d do it,” said Cook.

The group has toured North America, South America, New Zealand, Europe and Asia, impressing audiences with astounding concerts jam-packed with songs that are still a staple of radio and movie soundtracks. “Recollections,” their double-live CD of 22 classic hits is on track for Platinum certification by RIAA this fall.
