Rock legends Foghat will perform at Musikfest

Foghat, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021, will rock the Wind Creek Steel Stage at PNC Plaza – Bethlehem Sunday, Aug. 11.

The “undisputed Kings of Boogie Rock” have been a mainstay on the music scene since first forming in London in 1971. The band’s unique mix of blues, hard rock, boogie and its signature use of slide guitar has earned Foghat eight gold records, one platinum album and one double platinum record.

Many of Foghat’s classic hits are still mainstays on classic rock radio years after their release, including “Fool for the City,” “I Just Want to Make Love to You” “Drivin’ Wheel,” “Stone Blue” and, of course, the band’s signature hit, “Slow Ride.”

They’ve released over 20 albums over the years, most all of which feature the band’s unrelenting in-your-face hard rock crunch mixed with the blues, a genre of music the band remains passionate about to this day. They continue to tour nonstop.

The band released its new album, “Sonic Mojo,” on Foghat Records. “Sonic Mojo” is Foghat’s highly anticipated and long-awaited 17th studio album—their first in seven years–on the band’s label, Foghat Records, which is distributed by Select-O-Hits (part of the Sun Records family).

The album has spent almost six months on the Billboard Blues charts with no end in sight so far. It’s also still on the Roots Rock charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. It’s also getting rave reviews from both critics and fans.
