KENNY LOGGINS HEADLINES LAS VEGAS HILTON JULY 11
TWO-TIME GRAMMY® WINNING SINGER-SONGWRITER FEATURES SONGS FROM NEW ALBUM AND CLASSIC HITS
LAS VEGAS - Two-time Grammy® winning singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins will headline at the Las Vegas Hilton July 11, performing songs from his latest solo album, How About Now as well as his classic hits.
How About Now, recorded in Ojai, CA and Nashville, TN, finds the Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated Loggins in peak form, with his warm, expressive singing as instantly recognizable as ever. The album also firmly anchors him in the soulful singer-songwriter tradition that’s underscored every phase of his career, and is the pure essence of how it began.
“When I finally went on the road with Jimmy Messina again for our 30 year reunion tour, I rediscovered the kind of music I was making as a kid; music that had acoustic guitar at the center, and a certain level of joy and simplicity to it,” Loggins said. “I started to think about what it would sound like if I was making my half of a Loggins & Messina record today-that’s what I aimed for in the making of this new album.”
His Hilton appearance features signature Loggins hits and songs from the new album. One of the highlights is a stripped-down, updated version of the 1973 Loggins & Messina smash hit, “A Love Song.” For the new album, Loggins reworked it with a group of young Southern California-based musicians.
Leading up to How About Now, Kenny Loggins has generated hits spanning three decades with over twelve albums exceeding Platinum status. In 1980, Loggins was honored with a Grammy Award for “This Is It” in the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category. His stellar songwriting was honored in 1979 with a Grammy Award in the heralded Song of the Year category, for “What A Fool Believes;” the Doobie Brothers classic he co-composed with longtime friend Michael McDonald. Loggins’ solo hits also include “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend,’” “I’m Alright” and the Academy Award-nominated hit, “Footloose.”
