If you’re looking for an exciting way to spend the weekend, then look no further than AMT! We’ve got three super shows to choose from. But, why choose? Treat yourself to a full weekend of great entertainment, and come to all three!

First, on Friday, February 17, it’s America and Jon Anderson. Vocalists/guitarists Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, the founding members of iconic folk-group America, have reason to celebrate these days. On Monday, February 6, America celebrated their 40-year career milestone with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition, Time Life released new, acoustic versions of their biggest and most treasured songs recorded during their 40th anniversary year at the legendary Troubadour club in Los Angeles.
Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock as the lead vocalist and creative force behind YES. Anderson co-authored some of the group’s biggest hits, including “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout,” and “Owner Of A Lonely Heart.”

On Saturday, February 18, legendary funny-man Bill Cosby returns to the AMT stage. This multi-award winning comedian, actor and author can now add a new award to his resume. This past November, Mr. Cosby was named a 2012 Grammy Hall of Fame recording inductee for his comedy album, I Started Out As A Child. On his website, Mr. Cosby said “We initially released the album in November of 1964 on the Warner Brothers label. With tracks like Sneakers, Christmas Time, and Rigor Mortis… I still smile when I think about the laughs this album produced!”

Then on Sunday, February 19, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, and Bobby Rydell — The Golden Boys — will be in the house. In the 1950’s, Philadelphia’s own Frankie, Fabian and Bobby were all considered teen idols, each having successful singing and performing careers. After years of flying solo, they decided to band together and first performed as The Golden Boys in 1985. In a recent interview with Mark Voger of the Newark, NJ based Star-Ledger, Bobby Rydell recalled “When we did the first tour, there wasn’t a moment when we didn’t leave the stage laughing, just having a ball. To tell you the truth, we all thought, ‘How long is this going to last? A year? Two, tops?’ Well, this is 2011 and we’re still doing it!”

Where can you catch great comedy and terrific music all in the same weekend? At AMT, of course!

Coming this Friday, February 10, it’s Canadian funny-man Howie Mandel. Howie started his career on a dare during a trip to LA in 1979. He was at the legendary Comedy Store on amateur night and was coaxed by his friends to get up and try his luck. That fateful night lead to a career in TV, film and stage. Howie can currently be seen on the TV series “MOBBED,” an unscripted show that puts a hidden-camera spin on the “flash mob” concept. Then this summer, he’ll return as one of the judges on “America’s Got Talent.”

The next evening, Saturday, February 11, we welcome the Aussie soft rock group Air Supply, and the lead singer of The Babys and Bad English, John Waite. With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, Air Supply scored a string of seven straight Top Five singles. Vocalists Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell met while performing in a Sydney, Australia production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976. The two singers formed a partnership and with the addition of four supporting musicians, Air Supply was born.
As a solo artist and a lead singer, English rocker John Waite has a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop as well. In 2011, the title track from his tenth solo album “Rough and Tumble” went number one on Classic Rock radio.

Are you stumped for a terrific gift for your Valentine this year? How about tickets to a great Concert, or maybe even an AMT Gift Card! Here are a few ideas we think your Valentine would love.

Looking for an evening of nostalgia or romance? Why not come see The Golden Boys on February 19, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons on May 17, or Johnny Mathis on May 19?

How about a night of country music? Consider Wynonna & The Big Noise on March 1, Montgomery Gentry on May 11 or George Jones on June 3.

Is classic rock more their style? America & Jon Anderson on February 17 or Three Dog Night on April 1 are great choices.

Maybe your Valentine would prefer a night of comedy. We suggest Bill Cosby on February 18 or Brian Regan on September 27.

Also, don’t forget about our AMT Original Shows — Country Classics, opening May 2, American Icons, on stage starting July 26, and the all-new 2012 Christmas Show, debuting November 1.

With so many Concerts and Original Shows to choose from, maybe an AMT Gift Card is right for you. Not only will your Valentine love you for your thoughtfulness, but they’ll be able to select the show that suits them best.

Concert tickets and Gift Cards to AMT are the perfect Valentine’s Day choice. Unlike candy or flowers, they’re non-fattening and the petals won’t fall off!

Anyone can STOMP … or can they? STOMP returns to the AMT stage February 3 and 4 with some new surprises! A combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy, STOMP turns ordinary objects into musical instruments.

Occasionally Old Man Winter will decide to send some harsh weather our way on a day we have a Celebrity Concert scheduled. Eve ry so often we’ll have to make a weather-related decision as to whether a show will go on as planned.

AMT’s Snow Policy with regard to Celebrity Concerts is that if the artist/band arrives at AMT, the show will go on as scheduled and tickets will remain non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If the artist/band is unable to make it, and we cancel or reschedule the show, ticket holders will be notified and a message will be posted on our website.

We thank you for your understanding, and look forward to a terrific Celebrity Concert season with no weather-related concerns!

We’re so excited for the next two shows coming to the AMT stage — Roots & Boots at 8 pm on Friday, January 27 and Bill Engvall at 3 and 7 pm on Sunday, January 29.

Looking for a chance to see three incredible country music stars in one great country concert? Here’s your chance! Sammy Kershaw, Joe Diffie and Aaron Tippin join forces in the Roots & Boots tour to swap stories and perform many of their timeless hit songs. They’ll be sharing the stage, presenting an acoustic concert not to be missed. Three stars for one great ticket price! Click here to get your tickets now!

Comedian Bill Engvall told Randall Mielke of the Chicago Sun Times that “When I perform, I liken my act to a bunch of friends just getting together to have a good time. I’m like the guy next door,” Bill told the reporter. “I view my show like we’re all just sitting around like neighbors and I happen to be the funny one.” Engvall finds humor in everyday situations — “People identify with what I have to say.” Come identify! Get your tickets now!

The date for the Chicago concert, originally scheduled for Sund ay, May 6, is being changed at the artists’ request. This show will be rescheduled to a date in the Fall — the ticket on sale date will be announced soon.
