Have I mentioned this is a podcast for “mostly” Middle Tennessee Business Owners, Pros and Entrepreneurs?

I met Tony Langdon a few months ago when he joined my BNI chapter. He owns Langdon Flooring, which he moved from Southern California to Middle Tennessee not too long ago. I came to find out that Tony and his brother Roger were in a band together. Not just any band, but America’s #1 Tribute to Huey Lewis & The News called The Heart of Rock and Roll.

I’ve been a pest to poor Tony ever since.

As a child of the 80s, Huey Lewis and the News was one of my first introductions to my love for music. As a fairly seasoned drummer in my 40s now, a Huey Tribute is something I could see being a part of. Tony gets to be reminded of that fact, often.

Sorry Tony.

Hey man, the music is *that* good and it’s a BLAST to play.

About The Heart of Rock and Roll:

2023 marks the ten-year anniversary for this Southern California based tribute to 80s icons Huey Lewis & The News.

The Heart of Rock & Roll (THoRR, for short) is a top tier show band that goes beyond mere tribute with a Las Vegas level frontman who brings to life the look and sound of Huey Lewis so accurately, he’s fooled more than a few fans. It’s a non-stop multimedia ride through some of the biggest hits of the 80s and 90s in a colorful and exciting show complete with video elements, costume changes and fun audience interaction.

THoRR is the perfect festival act and has headlined coast to coast bringing HLN's infectious blend of rock, pop, blues and soul to audiences of all ages. There’s so much music to please all different tastes. With unforgettable hits like, “Hip To Be Square” “Stuck With You” “I Want A New Drug” “The Power of Love” and of course, “The Heart of Rock & Roll” audiences will feel transported “Back In Time” as they enjoy the full Huey Lewis & The News live concert experience. THoRR also covers hits by other artists just as HLN did in their shows. Classics like “The Boys Are Back in Town” “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “But It’s Alright” are sure to please even non hardcore Huey fans.

The Heart of Rock & Roll has firmly established itself as one of the most accurate and entertaining tribute acts in the country.

The news is spreading across the nation and the message is clear.

The Heart of Rock & Roll is still beating.
