Michael Stanley Concert Tickets

From the mid 70's to the mid 80's, the Michael Stanley Band enjoyed a strong and fiercely loyal following, touring with some of the superstar bands of that period (including Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Foreigner and The Doobie Brothers); there were several Top-20 and Top-30 hits, among them "He Can't Love You" in 1980 and "My Town" in 1983, but it seemed the 'one great hit' never came--the kind of chartbuster that saw acts like Bob Seger, Bryan Adams, John Cougar (now Mellencamp), make their names and hometowns, literally, household words...

style="width: 281px; height: 276px; float: left;" />Cleveland, Ohio's Michael Stanley is probably best known for his time as the frontman for the Michael Stanley Band, a rock band that was active back during the years of 1971-1983. During that time, the Michael Stanley Band created its share of noise in the music industry with several albums of rock 'n' roll music that ended up putting the Michael Stanley Band on the music charts...

This town is my town/Love her or hate her/It don't matter/Cause I'm gonna stand and fight," vouches the Michael Stanley Band in "My Town," the AOR favorite from You Can't Fight Fashion, their ninth album. So why don't they tell us they're from Cleveland? Maybe because it's difficult to imagine people brawling over that city by Lake Erie, or perhaps they just wanted to create a generic anthem to civic pride...

If Cleveland wants to pull off that consummate media image of Rockville, U.S.A., it better suppress the Michael Stanley Band's You Break It ... You Bought It. The music on this disc is so dated and frail it falls apart midway between your speakers and ears. I'm glad they printed the lyrics. No one would ever believe that things could possibly be so mundane as "I'm Gonna Love You" and "Song for My Children."

The Michael Stanley Band continued its long string of consistently good rock & roll albums with 1982's MSB. The Cleveland band also had a knack for attracting noted producers and co-producers, and this time around it was Don Gehman, who hit commercial and critical paydirt that same year with John Cougar's American Fool. In the Razor & Tie CD reissue liner notes, vocalist/rhythm guitarist Stanley commends Gehman for helping guide the band through a difficult time in the studio...

The Michael Stanley Band -- the pride of Cleveland, OH -- released its final major-label album, You Can't Fight Fashion, in 1983. It's a shame this EMI America release was MSB's national swan song after nearly a decade of being on the verge of deserved widespread success. Once again, MSB was joined by a high-profile co-producer, and this time it was Bob Clearmountain...

It seems like many blue-collar rock & roll heroes of the 1970s and '80s got their start as folkies, and Cleveland legend Michael Stanley is one of them. His self-titled debut album was released in 1972, and it is a wildly mixed bag of introspective, acoustic folk-rock (a la James Taylor and others of that sensitive singer-songwriter ilk) and simple rock & roll...

The Michael Stanley Band's skills were obviously increasing by its second album, 1976's Ladies' Choice. It also leaned more toward rockers than ballads, whereas the material on the previous year's You Break It, You Bought It! was a more even split. Once again, Bill Szymczyk handled production duties and Ladies' Choice also continued Stanley's practice of having high-profile guest musicians sit on some sessions...

The Michael Stanley Band reached its creative peak with 1980's Heartland and finally enjoyed some commercial success to boot. As Stanley says in the Razor & Tie CD reissue liner notes, MSB was finally in the enviable position of having its record company clamor for a follow-up. Fortunately, 1981's North Coast offered another fine batch of songs and a new member in saxophonist Rick Bell...
