Blue Moon Swamp: Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogarty
Greatest Hit: “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”
Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and that’s what Blue Moon Swamp is all about. Reproducing the concert experience of an American treasure like John Fogerty is something they take seriously. The band continues to perform in new areas all over the country.
Moving seamlessly from songs like 1968′s classic “Susie Q” to mid-eighties hit “Centerfield” and brand new music from the much celebrated 2007 release “Revival,” Blue Moon Swamp has stunned audiences from coast to coast. It’s a lifetime of unforgettable hits in a single night performance. Led by the amazing vocals of award-winning performer Dan McGuinness, Blue Moon Swamp treats audiences to a powerful, authentic musical journey through, arguably, some of the best American rock & roll ever recorded.
McGuinness’ remarkable ability to take the best of John Fogerty and make it his own adds incredible depth and richness to the concert experience, making Blue Moon Swamp a dynamic and visually entertaining live event for all audience types.
Emulating the vocals of Fogerty and his distinct guitar work (performed by Pat Keiner), however, is only part of what made CCR so powerful and extraordinary. Having the right players to pull off the Hall of Fame rhythm section is just as important! Complimented by the solid and powerful drumming of Joe Kunkel performing the historic drumming backbone of Doug “Cosmo” Clifford is equally significant. Bassist Mike McKeehan from Cincinnati, Ohio tackles the other half of the rhythm section playing the legendary Stu Cook bass parts. McGuinness has fun and takes great pride each and every night in taking a page out of rhythm guitar player Tom Fogerty’s book by saying “he was one of the greatest rock & roll rhythm guitar players ever, period.”
