PRESS RELEASE FROM EVENT ORGANIZERS:
Salvage Station is proud to announce the Wham Bam Bowie Band will be playing on September 17th at 8pm. Wham Bam Bowie Band presents LIVE, David Bowie’s top charting hits and classics, as well as rarities, deep tracks and fan favorites. Tickets for the event are $10 and are on sale at http://whambambowieband.eventbrite.com.
Since 2013 the band has been on a mission to faithfully present Bowie’s classics onstage, music that still influences generations of fans. Their mission has taken on a more solemn tone since the sad loss of Bowie at age 69 in January 2016.
Bandleader Mark Casson was a songwriter living in Nashville, releasing albums of Mod/Beatles/Bowie influenced power pop with The Cheeksters, his critically-acclaimed band with his wife Shannon. Mark did a one-off Bowie tribute show in Nashville club; it was not only great fun but a massive success, with fans immediately requesting a repeat performance.
The Wham Bam live show features the expected blockbuster 80s hits, as well as classics and fan faves from Space Oddity, Let’s Dance & Ashes to Ashes on thru the Hunky Dory, Alladin Sane, and Heroes periods, and even newer material from Bowie’s 2013 release The Next Day.
Wham Bam Bowie Band brings Bowie’s iconic music to life, onstage once again. David Bowie was of course still a very active and creative force, right up to the end. His critically acclaimed #1 album The Next Day surprised fans new and old in 2013, released on his birthday. In 2016 his 69th birthday saw the release of Blackstar, continuing his prolific run. As everyone knows, two days later, sadly David Bowie was to leave our planet, leaving over 50 years of brilliant music for generations to discover and enjoy Wham Bam Bowie Band is committed to keeping Bowie’s music live onstage, where it belongs !!
