Hey㽶Ƶֱ Baby Boomers, remember the 㽶Ƶֱ80s?

Dance clubs open six nights a week, the birth of MTV, spandex, leg warmers and that distinctive one of a kind 㽶Ƶֱ80s sound. After more than two years in development, Rann Berry㽶Ƶֱs Time Machine㽶ƵֱBack to the 㽶Ƶֱ80s, is ready to rock.

㽶ƵֱThe thing that I love about doing this show is the fact that we as musicians actually played through the 㽶Ƶֱ80s,㽶Ƶֱ said Berry. 㽶ƵֱWe know what it was like. We lived it. We were playing six nights a week in these huge clubs throughout Western Canada. There were so many clubs back then that featured live bands. We worked for the infamous Bruce Allen Agency, then later Sam Feldman and Associates. It was such an amazing decade for live music, and working musicians.㽶Ƶֱ

Berry recalls road trips up here through the Interior. In Kelowna the big club was called Bernie㽶Ƶֱs or The Cannery. It eventually became Flashbacks. In Penticton there was Night Moves and Tiffany㽶Ƶֱs. Vernon had The 29/29 Club, where the band㽶Ƶֱs accommodations were on the upper floor.

Berry cultivated a new show focussing on that special feel from the 1980s.

㽶ƵֱFor our new Time Machine Show we㽶Ƶֱve spent a lot of time carefully choosing what we felt were some of the most memorable and iconic 㽶Ƶֱ80s hits, and we㽶Ƶֱve even gone as far as to track down authentic 1980s vintage instruments to perfectly duplicate the synthesizer/guitar driven sound that defined the decade,㽶Ƶֱ he said.

The show features a six piece live band that faithfully re creates the hits of artists such as U2, The Police, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, The Cars, Duran Duran, Wang Chung, AC/DC, The Cult, and so much more. And㽶Ƶֱ a very heartfelt tribute to David Bowie and Prince.

㽶ƵֱWe㽶Ƶֱll be bringing the full blown show with lots of surprises,㽶Ƶֱ promised Berry
