BOSTYX featuring David Victor formerly of Boston coming to the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall

Event Date: 
January 15, 2017 - 6:00pm

The Brewery Arts Center, Carson City’s premiere epicenter for the arts since 1976, presents BOSTYX which features the hits and vibe of two American pop music icons Boston and STYX all in one high-energy show that is sure to please classic rock ‘n roll fans of all ages.

BOSTYX features DAVID VICTOR, who was featured as a guitarist/vocalist on BOSTON’s summer 2012 and 2014 tours of North America and in 2013 at the sold-out Boston Strong Benefit with Aerosmith at the Boston Garden in front of an audience of nearly 20,000. David Victor’s vocals and guitar playing make this tribute to the amazing music of BOSTON and STYX as real as it can get!

Perhaps no two 1970’s era bands better defined the all-American good time summer classic rock sound more than Boston and Styx. These artists took rock music to places it had never been, with a radio-friendly and highly-polished sound, with vocals and harmonies that set the standard for every popular classic rock band that followed. Now BOSTYX re-creates the amazing music of these two classic rock icons with a full complement of world-class musicians, reproducing Boston’s soaring guitar harmonies and lightning-fast keyboard runs as well as the lush backing vocals and theatrical style of Styx.

Handling the distinctive lead vocals of Styx co-founder Dennis DeYoung is multi-talented drummer and lead vocalist, Glenn Jost. And lead vocalist/guitarist David Victor handles the vocals of two of the best-loved rock tenors of all-time, Boston’s Brad Delp and Styx’s Tommy Shaw. BOSTYX is truly the ultimate BOSTON tribute band and the ultimate STYX tribute band, all in one!

“BOSTYX embodies that 70s & 80s American Rock sound. What a great show. Our audiences loved it!” -Rob Vogt, City of Pleasanton, Pleasanton, CA.

The performance on January 15, will be “Unplugged”, Bostyx’s acoustic performance that highlights the amazing vocal harmonies and melodies and is perfect for sophisticated performing arts venues such as the BAC’s Performance Hall.

The show is Sunday, Jan. 15 beginning at 6 p.m. Advanced tickets are $15 for BAC members, $25 for general admission and $20 for Students/Seniors. This show is expected to sell out. Tickets are available for purchase at Breweryarts.org or in our Artisan Store at 411 West King Street.

For more info call the Brewery Arts Center office at 775-883-1976.
