The anthemic “Proud Mary,” the fiery “Fortunate Son” and the swampy “Green River” were hits for CCR. Regardless, Fogerty, 77, is well worth catching.įogerty, who will perform Friday at Northern Quest Resort & Casino, is a seminal fixture who has enjoyed a storied career. While some of Fogerty’s peers are headlining stadiums and arenas, the roots rocker primarily plays theaters and sheds.
Fogerty has written a slew of hits as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival and as a solo artist, but the recording artist who was born in Berkeley – not the bayou – is relatively under the radar. John Fogerty is up there with Ray Davies of the Kinks and The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn as one of the more underrated musicians in rock history.
