as he returns to General Hospital fame Santa Rosa, CA (July 9, 2007) - Baby boomers and retro lovers are in for an electrifying '80s-style blast to the past as superstar rocker Rick Springfield takes the stage for the first time ever at Santa Rosa's Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The concert, slated for August 4th at 8pm, will feature Springfield whipping through a 90-minute set of his best-known songs, such as "Affair of the Heart," "I've Done Everything for You," "Don't Talk to Strangers," "Human Touch," and of course "Jessie's Girl," for which he won a Grammy for best rock vocal in the early 1980s. Springfield, who played Dr. Noah Drake on the popular daytime soap opera General Hospital beginning in 1981, continues to perform music before packed crowds across the country and also recently returned to the set of General Hospital after a 22-year hiatus. The '80s rocker has withstood the test of time far better than most critics would ever have imagined, writing and performing some of the best-crafted power pop of the past 30 years. He's sold over 19 million records while charting a whopping 17 Top 40 hits to date. Having performed for millions of fans over the last three decades, and showing no signs of slowing down, Rick continues to play 100 shows a year, sharing his love of performing, unstoppable energy, and unique brand of crowd interaction with thousands of fans each night. He literally wades deep into the crowd at each show. Springfield is currently on tour to support his 2005 release The Day After Yesterday.
