Kenny Loggins in Cerritos Sept. 17

The Washington Post called Kenny Loggins “a master of the melodic hook and the diabolically catchy rhythm.” Known for his soulful voice and lyrics, the Grammy winner dominated Billboard’s Top 10 with I’m Alright, Footloose, Danger Zone, and the Oscar-nominated song For the First Time. Loggins comes to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) on Friday, September 17, 8:00 PM. Tickets are available at the CCPA Ticket Office, www.cerritoscenter.com , or by calling (562) 467-8818. Prices range from $80-$41. The $80 and $67 seats are sold out.

Long revered for his potent combination of orchestration and balladry, Loggins ruled the music charts with an endless stream of hits that included the Grammy-winning songs What a Fool Believes, a collaboration with The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald, and This Is It, which the Los Angeles Times hailed as “sensitive * sophisticated, Soul-flavored Rock.”

AN EVENING WITH KENNY LOGGINS is a showcase of the Rock-Pop icon’s biggest hits, which include Nobody’s Fool, I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man), and Celebrate Me Home.

Loggins started his career as a Folk singer and eventually gravitated toward Rock, but he exhibits his versatility in a colorful range of genres, including Pop, Smooth Jazz, and Children’s music. Collaborations with renowned singer-producer Jim Messina led to three Platinum albums, including Celebrate Me Home, Nightwatch, and Keep the Fire.

Since going solo in 1976, Loggins has earned a reputation as one of the most successful writers and singers for blockbuster soundtracks such as Caddyshack, Top Gun, One Fine Day, Rocky IV, and Thelma and Louise. Loggins also delighted youngsters and their parents with the tunes House at Pooh Corner and A Return to Pooh Corner, which reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Kids Audio chart. Your Heart Will Lead You Home was showcased in Disney’s hit flick The Tigger Movie. In 2007, Loggins released How About Now and was inducted into the RockWalk for his many contributions to music. In 2009, Loggins’ family album All Join In was added to his vast discography.
