Sudano played snippets of his catalog of music, working his way from the past to the present, as if creating a musical autobiography. What I did not know is his very rich history in the music industry, his very thoughtful and sincere demeanor, and the depth and authenticity of his music. Rock At Night reviewed his recent release Ode to a Nightingale so I somewhat familiar with him. The evening began with singer/songwriter Bruce Sudano on stage with an acoustic guitar, accompanied by a fellow musician on an electric guitar. Walking into the venue I noticed many patrons wearing The Zombies t-shirts and even an “Induct Tommy James Into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” t-shirt on a woman. Even Baby Boomers have fallen into the habit of cell phone raising during an evening’s performance by viewing the concert through a glass screen rather than absorbing a live performance. Finally, the band kicked off the Life Is A Merry-Go-Round Tour in Orlando on April 1 st.Įntering the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in Clearwater, Florida on April 5 th, we were greeted by a sign that noted photography, including cell phones, was prohibited. Again, the year 2021 proved to be a wash since the tour was again postponed till 2022. We intended to see them in 2020 but the dreaded COVID pandemic put the kibosh on that. Rock At Night last saw The Zombies in February 2019 before their long overdue induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The music is symbolic of my “Wonder Years” childhood in Metro Detroit which included singing along to the AM radio in the Buick Riviera. The Odessey and Oracle is one of my favorite albums. Live Review: The Zombies with Bruce Sudano – Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, ApThe Zombies.
