About
MICHAEL STANLEY IN CONCERT:
Heartland rocker Michael Stanley made his name in the '70s and '80s with the Michael Stanley Band, a seven-piece outfit of no-nonsense American rock and roll. The band became a huge regional success in the Midwest with chugging blue collar hits like "He Can't Love You" and "In the Heartland," setting several attendance records in the early '80s with their wildly popular arena concerts. Following the 2013 release of The Ride, Stanley hit the road once again with his new band The Resonators, earning rave reviews and drumming up excitement for his 2014 tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Intimate, tight, and a connection w/ the crowd was the essence of this great show."
"Great mix of recent work along with classic tunes from early on. His songwriting is as good as anyone in the business."
"Once again Michael Stanley put together a show that did not cheat the fans out of any of their requests. He played for over 3 hours and covered all eras - old to new."
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Michael Stanley attended college on a baseball scholarship before releasing his self-titled debut album in 1973. The album and its follow-up Friends and Legends were both produced by BIll Szymczyk — fabled producer of The Eagles' seminal 1976 album Hotel California — and featured contributions from Todd Rundgren and Joe Walsh. In 1974, Stanley formed the Michael Stanley band, with which he would achieve his first pop chart success in 1980 with "He Can't Love You." With over 20 albums of material under his belt, Stanley continues to release music and tour with his new backing band the Resonators.

by 01tami on 4/26/17Akron Civic Theatre - AkronMichael Stanley and The Resonators are some of the most talented musicians out there. They are such wonderful people, very much like family and they are so happy to be performing for their fans. Seen them many times and I look forward to seeing them again. I would see them perform every day of the week if I could. I need front row tickets though. Mark Lee Shannon you rock! Jennifer Lee you have such a beautiful voice and compliment Michael so well. God Bless each and everyone of you!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Right where I should be
by ShowerRockStar on 4/24/17Akron Civic Theatre - AkronWhenever I'm in the mere presence of MS&R, I know that's exactly where I should be. I have yet to be disappointed by any of it - singing, playing, interaction with each other on stage - it is all fun & brings me joy. They played in the Akron Civic Theater, which I had never been in. It was a cross between Broadway & Vegas, so how enjoyable is that! Overall experience, good time had by all. And the mystery will continue of how a man can write music and lyrics like that and more artists don't cover his music. Until the mystery being solved, this is one fan that will continue to appreciate all of it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Michael Stanley and the Resonators
by PaTimmo on 4/24/17Akron Civic Theatre - AkronMichael Stanley and the Resonators nailed it! I have seen them several times, and this was their best show that I have seen. They played a lot of old MSB songs. The Akron Civic Theater was a great venue. Being an old man it was nice to sit down; it was also nice to stand up and dance the last few songs and the encore. It was an older audience, and you could tell everyone was taking in the atmosphere and appreciating the moment. I wish Michael would have all his concerts filmed and sell the DVDs. Michael - please have more concerts soon and thank you for a lifetime of memories. Michael Stanley should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
