Everclear Reigns Supreme
This Friday, Everclear will be hitting the stage at the Flagstar Strand Theatre. The band’s frontman, Art Alexakis, 62, has been rocking the music scene for over three decades, and he’s still going strong. “I don’t feel like I have anything left to prove,” Alexakis shared in a recent interview. But that doesn’t mean he’s just going through the motions; he’s determined to give the audience a night to remember.
Known for their catchy ’90s hits like “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” and “I Will Buy You a New Life,”, Everclear promises a high-energy performance that you won’t want to miss. “We’re just very grateful that we’re guys in our 50s and 60s and we’re out playing rock ‘n’ roll,” Alexakis added. With no gimmicks or fancy tricks, expect a raw, authentic rock experience!
