Area residents will gather for another rocking performance at The Frederick Brown, Jr. Amphitheater (The Fred) this weekend.

Closing out the Lexus of South Atlanta Summer Concert Series I, presented by Webb, Lindsey & Wade and Canongate Golf Clubs, is Foreigner on Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2.

Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, Foreigner produced scores of smash hits like, “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold as Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent,” “Jukebox Hero” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

Foreigner’s thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. Celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band, Foreigner is back, bigger, more powerful and more explosive than ever.

“This band is really enthusiastic and we worked very had (over the past two years) to re-establish Foreigner as a major force in the USA. This is the most dynamic lineup since the early days,” said band founding member, Mick Jones.

Garnering accolades from press and fans alike, the current line-up of Foreigner, led by founder/chief songwriter/guitarist/producer, Jones, drummer Jason Bonham, lead vocalist Kelly Hansen, bassist Jeff Pilson, keyboardist Jeff Jacobs and rhythm guitarist Tom Gimbel, is undeniably their strongest ensemble yet.

“There are few times as a musician where you have an opportunity to play with a group of people that click so well,” said lead vocalist Hansen. “We are extremely fortunate that this is the case with this lineup of Foreigner.”

The opening act, Uncle Dank of Statesboro, will begin at 8 p.m. and Foreigner will go on stage at 9 p.m.
