Spin Doctors will rock and roll at Ribs Burnoff

 

Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival announced that Spin Doctors will rock the Sheetz Stage on Friday, August 1, at the National Ribs Burnoff at Stark County Fairgrounds.  The concert is presented in cooperation with Mix 94.1 and News Talk 1480 WHBC and will begin approximately 8 p.m.

 

Spin Doctors formed in New York City in 1988 and signed with Epic Records/Sony Music just two years later.  “Up For Grabs” was released in January of 1991, and in August, they released their full-length debut album “Picket Full of Kryptonite.”  Relentless touring and a wave of positive press kept the album alive into the next year when sales began to increase dramatically, and the album was certified gold in September of 1992.  Reaching the one million mark in January of 1993, the album entered the Billboard Top Ten one month later and soon was triple platinum, while spinning off two major hit singles, “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and the number one rock radio song of 1993, “Two Princes.”

 

The popularity of Spin Doctors is based on universal rock and roll virtues according to Rolling Stone magazine.  Following their debut album was “Turn It Upside Down” which was certified gold, followed by “You’ve Got To Believe In Something” and “Here Comes The Bride.”   Their latest album titled “Nice Talking To Me” was their first new studio album in 11 years by the original Spin Doctors, and it is a mature work that sums up the individual artistic growth of the band’s members over the past decade.  It’s the end of a three-year period during which the band renewed their dedication to songwriting, live performance, and the creative process.

To accommodate even more fans at the concerts, chairs or seating of any kind will not be permitted anywhere on the track area; it will be free, standing room only. People wishing to have a reserved seat in the grandstands can purchase tickets for $8 each. Tickets will be available for walk-in purchase at all Stark and Summit County Sheetz locations (24-hour availability), and at the Chamber office at 222 Market Avenue North from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, beginning Thursday, June 26; phone orders will be accepted at the Chamber beginning Friday, June 27, at 330.458.2088.
