Eagles tribute band to play Panida

By Reader Staff

With numerous No. 1 singles and albums, a half dozen Grammys, five American Music Awards and over 100 million records sold, the Eagles were a musical force to be reckoned with during the 1970s. Now, the next best thing to seeing the Eagles live might just be a show with Hotel California, “the original tribute to the Eagles,” playing at the Panida Theater on Wednesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Hotel California began recreating the legendary sound of the Eagles in 1986 and has been playing all over the globe since, becoming the industry’s leading substitute for the Eagles. Legend has it that when you close your eyes while listening to their live performances, you can almost smell Eagles’ founding member Don Henley’s cologne.

Hotel California has shared stages with the likes of The Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, REO Speedwagon and more. Composed of performers Andy Lapointe, Mike Dimoulas, Al Langlade and Jay Riehle, the band has continually impressed audiences the world over with incredibly accurate lead vocals, instrumental work and harmonies. Hotel California’s commitment to authenticity helps members flawlessly perform one of the most game-changing song catalogs in the history of rock ’n’ roll.

The concert is presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment. Tickets are available for $49.50 on panida.org.
