LARGO - Juice Newton takes the stage at the Largo Cultural Center on Wednesday, July 30, at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for the show are $32 VIP, $29 in advance, $32 day of the show and are available at the Largo Cultural Center box office, 727-587-6793.
Juice Newton, known for her impact on the pop and country music scenes, exhibits diversity in her music as well as her stage show. Newton keeps her performances varied with the energy of her top-notch touring band and the intimacy of an acoustic setting.
Otha Young, Newton's longtime musical partner and songwriter, said, "With the band we have now can give the audience the full spectrum of Juice's music."
That spectrum is wide but identifiable. Juice Newton, through her pop and country hits, her distinctive voice and entertaining performance skills, continues to captivate audiences from teens to grandparents, from the city to the country.
As a music critic stated, "Newton remains one of the most riveting performers in music, rocking on stage and playing each emotion for what it's worth. And it's worth a lot."
Their experience with RCA led them to Capitol records where Juice made her mark with such hits as "Angel of the Morning," "Queen of Hearts," and her first country hit, "The Sweetest Thing."
Through the mid-1980s, she followed these hits with "Break It To Me Gently," which won her a Grammy, "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me," and "A Little Love."
A second signing with RCA produced a string of top 10 country hits such as "You Want To Make You Mine," "Hurt," "Old Flame," "Cheap Love," "Both To Each Other," "Tell Me True," and "What Can I Do With My Heart?."
