Cranking out melodic tunes since the 70s, Eddie Money is hitting the road for a series of tour dates beginning this spring.
Born Edward Joseph Mahoney, March 21, 1949, in Brooklyn, NY, Mahoney was originally a cop, but in 1968 made the switch to his first love, music. In 1976, after changing his surname to Money, he was introduced to promoter Bill Graham and as they say, “the rest is history.”
With hit singles such as “Baby Hold On," "Two Tickets to Paradise," and “Take Me Home Tonight,” Money has been keeping fans on their feet for over three decades.
The 63 year old rocker is playing for keeps as he shows no signs of slowing down with 20 shows running from March through August.
Eddie closest show to the Capital Region is March 22 at Seneca Niagara Casino (Bear’s Den) - Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Dr. John Cooper
Born in Latvia, Dr. John Cooper
migrated with his parents to this
country and grew up on his father's
beet farm. Poor, the only enjoyment
the family had was an old radio his
father recieved in a trade for his older
sister. Evenings were spent listening
to Amos 8- Andy, The Lone Ranger and
other old time radio shows which led
to his interest into the broadcast
industry. Alter 17 years as host of
Ohio's KHOG "Swap Shop" John hit the
big time by swaping his pet hamster,
Mason, for a degree from the College
of Musical Knowledge which he used
to land a gig in Central New York. From
there it was no where but up.
He joined PYX 106 after a short stint on Broadway in Michael Jackson's "The WIZ". His meteoric rise to the top as Program Director came as a surprise to all in the industry. When asked his most memorable moment in radio, John replied, "my interview with the guy who lived next door to the guy who was the third cousin of the guy who whittled a pair of drumsticks for Pete Best."
