Leon Russell to Perform at BergenPAC, 11/17

Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Leon Russell takes the stage with special guest Davell Crawford live at bergenPAC, November 17th at 8:00PM.

Leon Russell is perhaps the most accomplished and versatile musician in the history of rock & roll and has been a major force in the music industry for more than four decades. Ray Charles recorded Russell's "A Song For You," B.B. King had a hit with "Hummingbird," The Carpenters with "Superstar" and Joe Cocker with "Delta Lady." George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Russell's song, "This Masquerade," and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&B charts. Additionally, Russell enjoyed success with his own hits such as "Tight Rope," "Slippin' Into Christmas" and "Lady Blue."

Most recently, Russell and fellow piano man Elton John released an album called The Union, which was named one of the year's best by Rolling Stone Magazine, and a national tour followed. The collection's single "If It Wasn't For Bad," written by Russell, was nominated for a Grammy award.

Davell Crawford is the "Prince of New Orleans Piano" and performs often with Dr. John and others.

bergenPAC is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street, Englewood, NJ 07631
