Are you ready to rock 'n' roll?
Two classic rock acts — the Steve Miller Band and Dave Mason — will give three Hawaii concerts over as many days in December.
The schedule:
• Honolulu — 8 p.m. Dec. 9, Blaisdell Arena.
• Big Island — 8 p.m. Dec. 10, Hilton Waikoloa Village’s Grand Ballroom.
• Maui — 7 p.m. Dec. 11, Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s A&B Amphitheater and Yokouchi Pavilion.
Doors open an hour before showtime.
Miller’s rock-blues sound has been a defining and powerful element of the classic rock movement, still popular today several decades after its heyday. The Miller life has included such hit staples as “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Take the Money and Run,” “Rock ‘n Me,” “Jet Airliner,” “Swingtown” and “Jungle Love.”
Mason, a founding member of the rock group Traffic, has earned laurels and fas as one of the top composers and guitarists in the world. His signature hits as a soloist include “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “We Disagree,” and “Only You and I Know.”
The show’s presenter is Ron Gibson, of Ron Gibson Entertainment, on behalf of the Diamond Head International Music Festival, which he revived inside Diamond Head Crater several years ago before the economic slowdown. This event keeps the Diamond Head spirit afloat, with a possible reinstatement in 2012.
