Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage.
HARRIS CENTER FOR THE ARTS will present an evening of classic rock and roll when CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE performs The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, on Sunday, January 28, at 7:30pm.
Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage - note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. This special concert event will feature the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album, including “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses,” “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking,” and more.
“Think of it as a recital,” says Martin. “These albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album,” says Martin.
With 100+ shows a year across North America, CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE has seen massive success in performing arts centers and theatres. Fans in Texas, Florida, California, New York, and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining, successful show.
“We grew while others withdrew,” says Martin, commenting on the decline of concert ticket sales. “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote - ‘note for note, cut for cut’ accuracy.” It’s this type of accountability that works for the series.
Individual tickets range from $42-$67, including fees, and are available at the Box Office at (916) 608-6888, or online at HarrisCenter.net. Box Office hours are Tuesday-Friday from 12:00pm-5:00pm, and one hour before showtime.
