Tony Starlight's AM Gold Seventies Soft Rock Show

  • Tony Starlight Showroom 1125 Southeast Madison Street Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

Party like it's 1979! A soft-rockin' tribute to the greats of the AM Dial.

Why Seventies Soft Rock? "The radio was the soundtrack to the 1970s, the era in which I grew up."

"Not every radio had FM capabilities, especially in cars. The AM dial was played in stores and restaurants and in the Country Squire Station Wagon that I rode in, sans seat belts. I absorbed these songs and they are a part of me. A few lines of "Rocket Man" and I'm taken back to a time of polyester, bell bottoms and Evel Knievel.

We are always shocked at how the audience seems to know all the words to every song in our playlist. To hear the crowd sing "even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey" or "give me the beat, boys, and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away" is magical. I's like a big campfire sing-along, K-Tel style!" -Tony Starlight, AM Gold Seventies Soft Rock Show

What started as a monthly Neil Diamond Tribute has grown into a soft rock explosion! Tony Starlight makes an evening out of performing songs from the stalwarts of the AM dial in the 1970s. Artists like Elton John, Neil Diamond, Carole King, Jim Croce, Little River Band, Carly Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, Barry Manilow and Billy Joel. One hit wonders like "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)", "Dancin' In The Moonlight", "Welcome Back", "Seasons In The Sun" and much, much more.
