STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas & John Waite

Get ready to relive the soundtrack of a generation as STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas & John Waite take the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage for an unforgettable night of classic hits from two of the most iconic voices in rock! Mickey Thomas is the powerful voice behind STARSHIP’s rise to prominence throughout the 1980s. Known for his soulful and compelling vocals, he has become one of rock music’s most recognizable performers. Thomas first gained widespread attention in 1976 as the lead singer on the Elvin Bishop Band’s hit Fooled Around and Fell in Love. In 1979, he joined Jefferson Starship as lead vocalist following the departures of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, contributing to a string of hits including Jane, No Way Out, Find Your Way Back, Stranger, and Layin’ It on the Line. When the group rebranded as STARSHIP in 1985, they reached even greater heights, recording three #1 hits: We Built This City, Sara, and Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now. The latter, featured in the film Mannequin, earned an Academy Award® nomination. Around this time, their song It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over also became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987. John Waite’s catalog includes some of the most beloved songs of the 1980s and 1990s, highlighted by the #1 worldwide hit Missing You. He also achieved major success with The Babys’ Isn’t It Time and Bad English’s When I See You Smile, both of which remain radio staples. His body of work includes other notable tracks such as Tears, Change, and These Times Are Hard for Lovers. Waite also contributed Every Step of the Way and If Anybody Had a Heart to the soundtrack of the 1986 Demi Moore film About Last Night. Whether as a solo artist or as the frontman for The Babys and Bad English, Waite was a defining presence on album-oriented rock radio throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
