WESTPORT, Connecticut — The Supper & Soul series, presented by The Westport Library and the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce, returns Saturday, May 3, with Green River, the #1 nationally touring Creedence Clearwater Revival/John Fogerty tribute show.
Dinner starts at 6 pm, with the concert kicking off at 8 pm. A single Supper & Soul $85 ticket buys you a three-course dinner at one of 11 downtown restaurants plus the concert. There are concert-only tickets available as well for $30. All tickets available here.
Participating restaurants are: Arezzo, Basso, Capuli, Casa Me, Don Memo, Emmy Squared, Il Pastaficio, Nomade, Spotted Horse, Gogi, and Walrus Alley.
Once you buy a dinner-and-concert ticket, you will be given a link to select your restaurant. Just fill in all the information and you and your friends will be set for the night. After the concert, show your ticket at any of the participating restaurants and receive special happy hour pricing on drinks.
The show is faithful to a live CCR performance. Listeners can expect a full 90-minute show of their favorite CCR classics ("Bad Moon Rising," "Proud Mary," and "Up Around the Bend," to name a few) and songs that CCR would turn into live jams such as "Born on the Bayou" and "Susie Q." Green River also mixes in John Fogerty classics, including "The Old Man Down the Road" and "Centerfield."
Green River is the brainchild of native New Yorker Rick Horvath, who started singing CCR songs in his very first band when he was 13 years old. In addition to singer/guitarist Horvath, the band features guitarist Tim Theobald, bassist Dave Figura, and drummer Harrison Balthaser.
