Auburn Avenue Theater

Randy Linder's CCR Tribute
Randy Linder's authenticity shines through with the visual resemblance, the voice, the lead guitar style and even the rockin' blues harp played by John Fogerty in some of those early CCR hits. You will walk away from this show with a renewed interest in a singer/songwriter who played a huge role in shaping American music culture.
