Everybody get footloose!
Tell yourself “I’m Alright” and fly into the “Danger Zone,” because “This Is It”. Legendary hitmaker Kenny Loggins takes over WinStar’s Global Event Center on Friday, June 14 at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:30 PM.
At the age of seven, Kenny Loggins watched two older brothers try, and fail, at writing a song. “I remember thinking, it just can’t be that hard.” So, Kenny wrote his own tune and hasn’t stopped since.
As a high schooler in Los Angeles, Loggins sang and played guitar, eventually scoring a job at ABC/Wingate for $100 a week with one of his first songs, “House at Pooh Corner,” recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. At the same time, Loggins met the man who would help launch his career: Jim Messina. Their 1971 album featured Loggins’ own version of “Pooh Corner” plus “Danny’s Song.” In the next five years Loggins and Messina churned out hit after hit, from “Angry Eyes” and “Thinking of You” to “Your Mama Don’t Dance.”
His 1977 solo album, Celebrate Me Home, and his duet single with Stevie Nicks, “Whenever I Call You Friend,” launched Loggins into an unrivaled rock music career that included memorable movie soundtracks for Caddyshack and Top Gun, and his biggest hit, “Footloose.” “This is It” was another Grammy-winning song and Loggins also featured prominently in the epic charity single “We Are the World.”
Loggins’ work on favorite soundtracks, hit albums, worldwide stages and children’s books continue to cross a stunning variety of genres. “I’ve been lucky that I love what I do, and I get to keep doing it,” he says. And you’ll be more than lucky to spend an evening with an unparalleled musical master at the Global Event Center on June 14.
