Kenny Loggins and Friends of Music
Kenny Loggins and his band, which was minus two COVID-19 infected members, were in rare form for their appearance during
a Friends of Music party and concert, which was the last stop on their latest tour. The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre
in downtown Clearwater was themed to showcase the many movies for which Loggins had composed songs, such as “Danger
Zone” from Top Gun, “I’m Alright” from Caddyshack,”Footloose” from Footloose, “Meet Me Half Way” from Over the Top and more.
The intimacy of the concert, where guests were invited to dance, clap and sing along, made it a very special evening and a fun
way to support Ruth Eckerd Hall-organized shows and educational programs.
