Hotel California comes to Givens Performing Arts Center
by DR. SHANESSA FENNER
Primary Health Choice, Inc.
presents Hotel California – "A
Salute to the Eagles" band
Friday, Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. at
Givens Performing Arts Center.
"We actually had Hotel
California back in 2011, so
this is their second time com-
ing here," said Chad Locklear,
director of marketing of GPAC.
"They came before and we
had a great turnout from the
community, so we thought we
would invite them back again
for our 2018 Homecoming."
Hotel California, the original
Eagles tribute band, will per-
form during UNC Pembroke's
homecoming celebration. The
band will showcase classic hits
that include "Take It Easy,"
"Desperado," "The Long Run"
and "Hotel California."
The band was founded with
intentions of filling the void
left by the demise of The Eagles. For three decades,
the band has been recreating the legendary sounds.
They've captivated audiences all over the world since
then and set the bar in 1986 by remaining the indus-
try lead substitute for The Eagles.
The band toured relentlessly in the '80s through
today and have shared the stage with The Doobie
Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO
Speedwagon and more.
Their stage show has evolved into one of the most
popular productions on the North American festival
circuits that has audiences dancing
and enjoying the music.
The homecoming festivities for
UNCP will take place Oct. 15-20 and
will include athletic games, a step
show, a homecoming dance, a tailgate
party, an alumni awards banquet,
midnight madness event, a bonfire,
Ms. UNC pageant and much more.
"We try to bring acts here that will
engage and entice our alumni," said
Locklear. "We have a lot of alumni
that come home for homecoming, so
this is one of the shows that is geared
more towards that crowd.
"We are looking forward to a festive
week, so come join us for the fun."
Tickets cost $31-$36. Alumni tick-
ets cost $18, $15 for children, $16 for
faculty and staff and $10 for UNCP
students. For more information, call
