From Staff Reports
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. — The Guess Who, billed as an iconic and musically eclectic Canadian rock band, will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 27 at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center, 212 Tusculum Boulevard, here.
As for the show, an event promotion stated, “Legendary Canadian band, The Guess Who, enjoyed chart-topping hits in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s with an impressive catalog of songs, including ‘American Woman,’ ‘These Eyes’ and ‘No Time.’
“During the course of its career, the band has released 11 studio albums, and charted 14 Top 40 hit singles, two of which went to No. 1 in the United States...
“The most recent and up-to-date version of the band has mastered a wildly entertaining romp through the early hits, mixed in with their current creations, while managing to take the whole experience to a new level.
“It’s sophisticated, searingly emotional and musically eclectic, while remaining eminently ‘singalongable.’ The Guess Who never leave anything less than their hearts on the stage at the end of every performance,†the promotion noted.
The Guess Who was invited to play at the White House on July 17, 1970, shortly after the release of “American Woman.†Because of its perceived anti-American lyrics, Pat Nixon, the wife of President Richard Nixon, asked that that particular song not be played. The band complied.
