CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – ZZ Top, who brought Southern rock to MTV and the Top 40 in the 1980s with “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs,” is coming to Clarksville this spring.
The band – Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Elwood Francis – have maintained a blistering schedule, hitting stops all over America and Europe on The Big One! Tour, according to a news release.
“We’ve been spending a lot of time on the road, and the more we’re out there, the more it feels like home,” Gibbons said in the release. “Our philosophy is to keep on keeping on because, simply put, we’ve been having a good time and see no reason to stop. It’s great to connect with audiences that are now three generations deep. The party train continues to roll!”
ZZ Top traces its history to the last day of 1969 in Beaumont, Texas. In the intervening years, ZZ Top has been responsible for the sale of more than 60 million albums worldwide. Their catalog includes four Gold albums, six Platinum albums and one album, Eliminator, that has been certified Diamond for sales of more than 10 million. Beyond that, they enjoyed eight Top 40 singles, two Platinum-certified video collections and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame 21 years ago by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
ZZ Top, presented by Z97.5, is coming to the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville on March 31. Tickets go on sale Dec. 12 at F&M Bank Arena online or at Ticketmaster.
