Why you should see this show…

Michael Stanley has been described as the very symbol of rock and roll for decades in Cleveland. Stanley started out as a solo artist in 1973 with two albums before forming the Michael Stanley Band, whose 1975 debut on Epic Records, You Break It… You Bought It, introduced the more robust, arena-friendly anthems the group became known for. The MSB had its biggest national profile in 1980 when the single “He Can’t Love You” reached No. 33 on the Billboard 100.

The Michael Stanley Band holds the records for the most tickets sold at Blossom Music Center and has sold out venues all over region in the 70s and 80s!

In the Heartland features members from these very special times and replicates the concert experiences that we remember from the early 1980s playing all the hits you want to hear, the way they were meant to be played! You will be rocking to MSB and it will bring you back to the favorite times of your lives! Performances reminiscent of 1980s era Blossom Music Center Concert!
