DONNA SUMMER RETURNS
WITH HER FIRST CONCERT TOUR IN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS!

One of Music's Hottest Divas Presents Three Decades of Hits June 29
at Santa Rosa's Wells Fargo Center for the Arts

Santa Rosa, CA - An artist who once defined the '70s pop music generation as the "Queen of Disco," Donna Summer is coming to Santa Rosa's Wells Fargo Center for the Arts as part of her first concert tour in more than five years. The tour also marks the first time in decades that Summer will perform many of her classic hits, such as "Love to Love You Baby." Summer has become one of the world's leading singers and songwriters. The career of the five-time Grammy-winner spans a range of musical genres from R&B and rock to inspirational and dance.

With songs such as "Love to Love You Baby," "Bad Girls," "Hot Stuff," "Last Dance," and "She Works Hard For The Money," Donna Summer has earned five Grammy Awards, three consecutive number one Platinum albums (she is the only artist, male or female ever to accomplish this), eleven Gold albums, four number one singles, two platinum singles, and 12 gold singles.

In addition to her recording and performing career, Donna Summer is an accomplished visual artist whose work has been shown at exhibitions and galleries in every major U.S. city and in Japan in a special exhibition sponsored by Steven Spielberg.

In 2003, Random House published her first book, Ordinary Girl, co-authored with Marc Eliot. Also that year Universal released The Journey containing all the hits as well as three new songs. Donna Summer is a consummate artist and songwriter with a vocal range exceeded only by her diverse talents in musical and other artistic genres.

Tickets ($65, $85, $95 ) for Donna Summer's June 29th performance at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts are available at the Box Office, 50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa, by phone at 707-546-3600, or online at www.wellsfargocenterarts.com.
