WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On October 9, Chase cardholders attended a very rare and exclusive playback session and live performance with legendary singer-songwriter, John Fogerty, at the Gibson Brands Showroom in New York City, hosted by Inside Access from Chase. Celebrating the October 6 release of Fogerty’s memoir, FORTUNATE SON: My Life, My Music, cardmembers joined Fogerty for an intimate Playback Experience™ of some of his most notable songs including “Fortunate Son” and “Bad Moon Rising”, followed by a live in-studio performance and first-hand story telling of his iconic career.
“After writing my memoir, Fortunate Son I discovered how much I enjoy looking back on the process of writing my entire catalog of songs. What makes this sort of evening for Chase card members special is that I was able to share the stories behind the inspiration for these songs, with fans,” said John Fogerty.
The Playback Experience is a music-driven concept built around intimate live events staged in historic recording studios across America, offering a limited number of fans the exclusive opportunity to experience a playback, from the original masters, of landmark albums and the most influential tracks ever recorded. These unique events provide direct access to the artists who created them including a conversation session and intimate live performance.
“The experience offers Chase cardmembers access to get up close and personal with iconic artists in a truly unique way,” said David Gold, general manager Chase Card Services. “We are pleased to have worked with John Fogerty to celebrate the launch of his memoir last week and bring this one of a kind opportunity to our cardholders.” This is Chase’s second event with the Playback Experience. The first was with Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys in Los Angeles in 2014.
Fogerty was songwriter, lead singer, and lead guitarist for Creedence Clearwater Revival and wrote, sang, and produced the classics "Born on the Bayou," "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," and so many more. Fogerty has been named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters (No. 40), 100 Greatest Guitarists (No. 40) and one of the 100 Greatest Singers (No. 72), by Rolling Stone and his most recent album was named one of RS's 10 Best Albums of 2013. He has earned induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and now adds respected author to his accolades.
This event was held as part of Inside Access from Chase, which offers eligible Chase cardholders once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from celebrity meet and greets to private culinary and cultural events to behind-the-scenes previews to the worlds of sports and fashion.
