A message from the Rochester Opera House:
The height of summer is here at the Rochester Opera House, and we’ve got the hottest acts for you to enjoy before the cool of winter descends!
Next week, legendary AC/DC tribute band Noise Pollution rocks the Opera House on August 21 at 8:00 PM! Noise Pollution presents a chronological look into the music of AC/DC and has performed for hundreds of thousands of AC/DC fans over the past 10 years. Noise Pollution performs the hits from both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras while guiding audiences through an unforgettable AC/DC experience. The band is professional in their respect for the music and their performance. CBS Los Angeles has declared Noise Pollution “one of the best you’ll find.” “Noise Pollution nails the sound and the energy of an AC/DC performance.” KCAL 96.7 FM called Noise Pollution, “The band that totally, completely kicks ass.” KMMT 106.5 FM, “Noise Pollution is one of the greatest AC/DC tribute bands to ever walk the face of the planet.”
Closing out our August shows is Hey Nineteen, the most authentic-sounding Steely Dan tribute worldwide, performing on August 28 at 8:00 PM. Since 2012, this 11-piece Steely machine has amazed its audience with the ability to accurately reproduce the Steely Dan sound in this high-energy show! Hey Nineteen will amaze you with their exacting solos (as originally recorded), vocals, harmonies, and musicality, all while keeping you moving. Tribute to Steely Dan – Hey Nineteen is composed of top professional musicians, many of whom have performed with Grammy-winning international artists. Hey Nineteen brings the big hits and the deep cuts, from ‘Do It Again’ to ‘Your Gold Teeth II,’ from ‘Reelin’ in the Years’ to “Doctor Wu,” “Peg,” and many more.
Reverend Horton Heat blasts open our September lineup with unforgettable rock ’n’ roll on September 7 at 7:30 PM. True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing and reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. Seeing Reverend Horton Heat live is a transformative experience. Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim becomes a slicked-back 1950s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploitation picture from the 1950s that’s currently taking place in the future. The Reverend’s commandments are simple: ROCK HARD, DRIVE FAST, AND LIVE TRUE. No band on this, or any other planet, rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These “itinerant preachers” actually practice what they preach. They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll.
