Huey Lewis and the News have been defying the rock odds-makers for more than two decades. Their contagious brand of rock ‘n’ roll has outlasted countless trends, selling more than 30 million albums worldwide. With favorites, like “Heart and Soul,” “I Want A New Drug,” their beloved anthem “The Heart Of Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Stuck With You,” all culled from their back-to-back multi-platinum albums, “Sports” and “Fore!”. In addition, their infectious “Power Of Love,” from the 1985 hit film “Back To The Future,” which went all the way to Number One on Billboard’s chart was nominated for an Academy Award. Formed officially in 1979, their only formula has been to perform and record with sweat on their brow, and their heart and soul firmly planted on their sleeves. From Huey’s legendary shows with his former band Clover in the late ’70’s, to the News’ Bay Area reputation as rock troubadours, to their critically acclaimed homage to rock and R&B on the 1994 album “Four Chords And Several Years Ago,” the band’s simple mantra, according to Huey, has been to “always keep it pure, keep it honest.” Huey Lewis and the News continue to be the heart of rock and roll – and they continue to tour religiously.
