They get some cool shows up at The Point Casino in Kingston. But not many of them have as much appeal as the July 17 set by the Gregg Rolie Band (7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show).
Rolie is a founding member of not one, but two heavy-duty
classic-rock bands, Santana and
Journ
ey. He
played keyboards and was the original lead vocalist with Santana,
then split off with guitarist Neil Schon to form Journey. He is, as
you might assume, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.
And here’s something you might not have known about Rolie. Though he was part of the San Francisco scene that spawned both Santana and Journey, he was born in Seattle, in 1947.
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 on the day of the show. The casino is at 7989 Salish Lane west of Kingston.
