Bryan Adams brings his highly successful solo-acoustic concert tour to Sarasota with a special, intimate concert at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Saturday, May 18.  Tickets go on sale Friday, March 8 at 10 am at www.vanwezel.org .   

The show at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall provides a rare opportunity for fans to see Adams as they've not seen him before:  solo-acoustic and intimate.   Here’s what the critics are saying:

"Armed only with a small array of acoustic guitars, Adams packed enthusiastic fans — sometimes a bit too enthusiastic — into the intimate Sheldon for a great night of music and insight."    St. Louis Post Dispatch

"They sang along with the ever-so-familiar choruses, filled in vocal gaps he left for them, clapped the missing drum parts, hummed the missing solos, and roared their approval after every offering, right up to a long and hearty standing ovation after 'Run To You'."  Toronto Star

Bryan Adams has sold over 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved #1 status in over 40 countries around the world.  With hits like, "Cuts Like A Knife", "Summer of '69", "Kids Wanna Rock", "Can't Stop This Thing We've Started", "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", "Open Road" and most recently "Thought I'd Seen Everything", Adams’ status as one of the great songwriters of our time has been solidified.
