Country. Rock. Nostalgia.
If you close your eyes, Gesenia and her band will have you believing that the great Linda Ronstadt is onstage in this second, much anticipated return of Ronstadt Revue to the Bankhead Theater. Performing in both English and Spanish, this show is so authentic that it has been highly praised by three of Ronstadt’s own bandmates, two of whom are also co-producing their latest album (which also features Ms. Ronstadt’s nephew, the noted cellist, Michael G. Ronstadt).
In this breathtaking multimedia show, Gesenia will escort you on a deeply personal and nostalgic journey through such blockbuster hits as “When Will I Be Loved?”, “You’re No Good”, “Blue Bayou”, “Long, Long Time”, “Perfidia” and the Eagles’ heart-rending “Desperado”, and have you singing these beloved songs all the way home. It just never fails.
Special Guest John Beland was Ronstadt’s band director during her prime years, and he subsequently worked with Dolly Parton, Rick Nelson, Mac Davis, Kim Carnes, Arlo Guthrie, Alison Krauss and Kris Kristofferson, among many others. He then went on to become a member of the legendary California country rock band, the Flying Burrito Brothers. His Ronstadt road stories and musical collaborations in this show are not to be missed!
