GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING GROUP THE COMMODORES WILL BRING THE HITS TO FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO ON FEB. 24, 2023
Nov. 23, 2022 – INDIO, CA – For decades, the Commodores have remained a force in the music industry. The iconic group has staying power and just like the hit song “Brick House,” the multi-faceted legends have created a foundation that won’t budge.
The Commodores will perform at the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, Feb. 24, 2023. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show start at $49 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 25.
After churning out hit after hit in the Motown days, the Commodores still hadn’t achieved Grammy recognition. This wasn’t to be until 1986, without Lionel Richie, when the Commodores released “Night Shift.”
The group was formed in 1968 while all the members were in college at Tuskeegee Institute. After being discovered by Berry Gordy, the Commodores went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown. With hits like “Machine Gun” and “Sail On,” the Commodores became proven artists. They proved it then and they proved it in 1986 when the group won the Grammy Award for Best Vocal R&B Performance by a Duo/Group for “Night Shift.”
Unlike many other groups, the Commodores haven’t rested on their early hits. Quite the contrary, the Commodores have continued to put out memorable music. With the creation of their new label, the Commodores released “Commodores Hits Vol. I,” “Commodores Hits Vol. II,” “Commodores Christmas,” and “Commodores XX-No Tricks.” The album “Commodores Live” was recorded during the group’s 1997 U.S. tour and released in December 1998 along with the TV special of the same name.
The Commodores believe in their work, but they are not the only ones:
“Seventies phenoms return with a self-produced album filled with some great music. The Commodores look set for a fantastic return.”… BRE Music Report
“Venerable pop/R&B band issues its first single in five years, engaging vocals woo with warmth and restraint.”…Billboard
The successful Commodores of the present have not only produced six new albums, and embarked upon a world-wide tour, but have created their own record label, Commodores Records and Entertainment. Today the Commodores stand not only as talented and successful musicians, but as artists determined to continue their success into the future.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show start at $49 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 25 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via phone (800) 827-2946 and online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.
