August 5, 2017 Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater........ Better Than Ezra
Saturday, August 05, 2017
105.7 welcomes Better Than Ezra LIVE to
the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater on Saturday, August 5, 2017
with special guest TBA! Before their omnipresent 1995 single
“Good” hit No. 1, before their debut album Deluxe went
double-platinum, before popular shows such as Desperate
Housewives licensed their song “Juicy,” before Taylor Swift
attested to their timeless appeal by covering their track
“Breathless” — New Orleans’ Better Than Ezra was a pop-rock act
paying its dues, traveling from town to town in a ramshackle
van. Over two decades after the band formed, that vigilance
still resonates strongly with the trio, who were finally
rewarded after seven years of stubbornly chasing their dreams.
“This band,” notes bassist Tom Drummond, “has never been handed
anything.”
