John continues to perform many Baby’s hit favorites like, Back on my feet again’, Isn’t it Time’, Midnight Rendezvous’, Head First’, and Every time I Think of You’.

As a solo artist and lead singer for The Babys and Bad English, John Waite was a fixture of album-oriented rock radio stations during the '70s and '80s. and still continues to be heard on classic rock stations around the world. John Waite had a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop. John and his band are currently touring strong, and rocking out his wonderful catalog of hits. On January 10 at 6pm, he will be performing “live in concert” at the Center for Rural Development in Somerset, KY. We hope you come and join us as we take a trip back to the 80’s during this wonderful memorable evening.
