Midnight Blue - A Tribute to Foreigner has become one of the region's premier celebrations of the music of Foreigner, delivering the power, precision and unmistakable sound of one of rock's greatest catalogs.
After an incredible year of packed venues, sold-out performances and an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences, Midnight Blue enters its strongest chapter yet with a lineup built around something that simply can't be manufactured: chemistry.
Fronted by Paul Vician, Midnight Blue features Tony Artino on guitar, Brian Dossa on bass and backing vocals, James Paat on keyboards, and Vinnie Mastro on drums. Together, these five musicians have developed a musical connection that goes far beyond simply playing the songs correctly. The vocals, arrangements, musicianship and energy come together to recreate the sound and feel of Foreigner during the legendary Lou Gramm years.
Tony brings the guitar work to life with the tone, feel and fire these songs demand. Brian combines decades of music-industry experience with powerful backing vocals and a rock-solid foundation on bass. James, a longtime fixture of the regional music scene, brings the keyboards, textures and musical detail essential to Foreigner's signature sound. Behind them, Vinnie's decades of live and studio experience create a rhythm section with Brian that is exceptionally tight, powerful and instinctive.
At the center is Paul's unmistakable connection to this music and his ability to deliver one of rock's most demanding vocal catalogs night after night. Perhaps the compliment the band hears most often says it best:
"Close your eyes and it sounds like Foreigner in the Lou Gramm days."
That is exactly what Midnight Blue strives for.
From "Cold as Ice", "Double Vision" and "Urgent" to "Juke Box Hero", "Hot Blooded" and "I Want to Know What Love Is", Midnight Blue delivers a full-scale live Foreigner experience built around five musicians who genuinely love this music and genuinely love playing it together.
Five musicians. One lineup. One incredible catalog.
