CRUSH! The Bon Jovi Experience

About this event

CRUSH! plays Bon Jovi the way the records sound and the way the arena felt! Doug Shepard fronts the five-piece. He carries the range and the look, and he works the front of the stage the way the job demands. No parody, no wink at the crowd. Ten years on the road across the United States and Canada have put the band on every kind of stage there is: club rooms, theater bills, casino showrooms, and fair grandstands in front of 13,000 people. Promoters rebook Crush because the tickets move and the show lands. The band builds each running order around the room. Anthems open it, an acoustic stretch sits in the middle, and the encore sends people out into the parking lot still singing. Audiences run from people who were there the first time to their kids, and both sing every word. That range is why the act fits a theater bill, a fair grandstand and a casino stage inside one season. Behind him: Diego Latorre on lead guitar, Jeff Smith on bass, Todd Green on drums and Chip McGuer on keys. Two of them work Nashville's Broadway, JBJ's included, and Diego has shared that stage with Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan and Hugh McDonald.
