If you have a hard time pinning down a particular genre of music as your favorite, you’ll love the mix of hits performed by Bad Reputation, coming to the Newport Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Jan. 11.
Described as “a musical journey,” the group has, ironically enough, earned a good reputation for its pleasing and polished mix of rock, country-rock, rockabilly, dance and pop music. The eclectic mix of cover material comes from a variety of artists like Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Pat Benatar, Elle King, Taylor Swift, Gnarls Barkley, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Gretchen Wilson, Eddie Money, Blondie, AC/DC, Joan Jett, Bryan Adams and Led Zeppelin.
While the five members of Bad Reputation have decades of experience, each having played in bands throughout their musical lives, it was the summer of 2023 when they began playing together and they’ve been delighting crowds ever since.
Samantha Pace shows her vocal prowess from the very first song of the show, while the energy of dueling guitarists Chris Ferrell and Louis Fanourakis truly fires up the crowd, with the assistance of an elite rhythm section helmed by Peter Dominowski on bass and Deby Fanourakis on drums.
Saturday’s show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Newport Performing Arts Center in Newport. Tickets are $25. For more information, go to www.coastarts.org or call 541-265-2787.
