Organizers of the 2009 Roar on the Shore bike rally, set for July 16-18, announced today that American rock-metal band Warrant will perform at Saturday night’s Rock ‘N’ Roar Concert at The Hub at Perry Square Main Stage in downtown Erie. The band, known for such hits as “Cherry Pie” and “Heaven,” will make their appearance following Led Zeppelin tribute band Zoso.
Concertgoers who want to get a closer view of the band can get a front stage pass for a $10 donation the night of the event or by purchasing wristbands online at www.roarontheshore.com. Proceeds benefit Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and their families.
Warrant has been touring since the band was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1984. The group first came into the national spotlight with their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, when their hit single, “Heaven,” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Warrant’s follow-up effort Cherry Pie, released in 1990, was an even bigger success, climbing into the Top 10 and featuring the high-charting singles “I Saw Red” and “Cherry Pie.”
“Thanks to Warrant and Zoso, we’re expecting this year’s Rock ‘N’ Roar concert to be bigger, badder and better than ever — all to help a very worthwhile charity,” said Manufacturer & Business Association Marketing Director Tammy Polanski.
