FOGHAT |
|
Main Stage at PrairieFest Park!
Foghat began their career in 1971 as a bunch of rather unpretentious young Brits with an affection for American blues and '50s rock 'n' roll. By the middle of the decade, they had evolved into a major touring and recording act, playing a pumped-up brand of boogie-rock, selling out concerts across America, and earning several gold and platinum albums.
With songs such as Fool for the City, California Blues, I Just Want to Make Love to You, and the Guitar Hero favorite, Slow Ride, Foghat is sure to bring back and make memories at PrairieFest Park!
