After nearly a decade away from the stage, iconic singer-songwriter Stephen Bishop is making a long-awaited comeback this September. The 74-year-old artist, known for hits like “Save It for a Rainy Day” and “On and On,” announced his return with two nights at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado. Tickets are available now for this highly anticipated event.
Bishop rose to fame in the ’70s after two of his songs were recorded by Art Garfunkel for his platinum album, “Breakaway.” This success led to Bishop signing a recording contract and releasing his debut album, “Careless,” which included his Top 40 hit “Save It for a Rainy Day” and “On and On,” which reached No. 11 on the charts. His subsequent albums, including “Bish,” achieved gold status, solidifying Bishop’s place in the music industry.
In addition to his solo work, Bishop made an impact on ’80s pop culture with songs like “It Might Be You” from the film “Tootsie” and “Separate Lives,” a duet with Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin for the movie “White Nights.” His music has been featured in various films over the years, further cementing his legacy in the entertainment world.
For his upcoming shows in Aspen, Bishop will be joined by legendary songwriters Jimmy Webb and David Pack. Webb, best known for his classic “MacArthur Park,” has experienced a resurgence in popularity recently. Pack, a member of the rock band Ambrosia, has produced several gold-certified hits during his career.
Bishop promises an unforgettable evening of music, stories, and history with his all-star band, which includes talented musicians like Jake Reed, Kait Dunton, Sean Hurley, Marcus Eaton, Melanie Taylor, and Liz Lieber. The opening act for the Aspen shows will be Bishop’s friend of 50 years, James Lee Stanley.
If you can’t make it to Aspen in September, fret not, as Bishop has plans for more shows in the coming years. His U.S. appearances will be limited as he focuses on international shows postponed in 2020. These upcoming performances are sure to be special occasions that fans won’t want to miss.
As Bishop prepares to take the stage once again, music lovers everywhere eagerly await the chance to experience his timeless talent and unforgettable melodies firsthand.
