Heartache Tonight - A tribute to The Eagles
2025-03-29 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | What Cheer Opera House, 102 S Barnes St, What Cheer, Iowa, 50268
Show: Saturday, March 29, 7:00-9:00pm, doors open 6:00pmTickets: $17.50-$35, general admission, can purchase at the door the day of the event or online at www.whatcheeroperahouse.orgPopcorn, pop, and water will be served during the showGrant Ranch Grub & Pub will be serving food and drinks at the Opera House from 7:00-9:00pm
With five number one singles and six number one albums, the Eagles are one of the most successful American rock bands of all time. Their albums, Greatest Hits and Hotel California rank among the best-selling albums in U.S. history. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Together since 2007, Heartache Tonight is without question the finest Eagles tribute in the country. The band performs songs from all eras and all incarnations of the Eagles, including many of the individual member’s hugely popular solo hits.
From the powerful guitar duel in “Hotel California” to the shimmering harmonies of “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” Heartache Tonight delivers a true Eagles concert experience. With meticulous attention to every detail, these six talented musicians reproduce live (no backing tracks!) all the memorable hits of this enormously popular rock powerhouse that is still going after five decades.
A Heartache Tonight performance is filled with moments designed to thrill classic rock fans: the soaring a cappella harmonies of “Seven Bridges Road,” the snarling guitars of “Life In The Fast Lane,” the anthemic country rock of “Take It Easy,” and the beautifully evocative “Heart Of The Matter.”
Close your eyes and you’ll swear you’re hearing the real thing
