Scott Rowe’s Alice Cooper Tribute Show “The Road to Tomorrow” makes a stop at Starlite Lounge this weekend on its way to the show’s last-ever performance.
The show starts 7 p.m. Saturday, May 30 at Starlite, 4346 W. Olive Ave., Glendale.
Horns Up will be opening the show, along with Viol8R after Scott Rowe.
This will be one of the final ”Road to Tomorrow” performances.
“This weekend My Alice Cooper Tribute will be on The Road to The Final Curtain Call performing at The Starlight Lounge ... just right up the street from where it all started in 1964 at The Letterman’s Talent Show at Cortez High School,” Mr. Rower posted to Facebook. “It was Vince Furnier, Dennis Dunaway and Glen Buxton along with some other track team members, pantomimed Beatle songs under the name of The Earwigs! Later they learned how to play, became The Spiders (Michael Bruce joins), then The Nazz (Neal Smith joins) and finally ‘Alice Cooper’ and the rest is history!!!”
Mr. Rowe moved to the Valley in 1990 and started his Alice Cooper Tribute, including his first show that same year at The Mason Jar.
On Halloween Night this year, on Saturday, Oct. 31, on the 30th anniversary of the show, Mr. Rowe and the band and cast will take one last bow at “The Final Curtain Call” at Cactus Jack’s Ahwatukee Tavern.
