After Midnight brings ’70s to Van Wert

Like a Phoenix rising from the fire, the rockin’ 1970s are back, and they are hotter than ever!  After Midnight brings audiences all the fabulous Seventies flavors: the bombast of KISS and Foghat, the epic grandeur of Kansas, Styx, and Journey, the musicianship of Led Zeppelin and Van Halen, the glorious melodies of K.C. and the Sunshine Band and the Bee Gees, and so very much more!

The five music industry veterans who make up After Midnight have shared the stage with artists such as Kansas, Eddie Money, and even did a stint as Tommy Tutone’s band.  So not only can they deliver note perfect renditions of everybody’s favorite songs, they also know how to serve them up with a fun-loving party attitude.
