Doors open at 7:00 PM
John Oates is a rock and soul guitarist, musician, and songwriter best known as half of the rock and soul duo Hall & Oates. When John first met Daryl Hall it was their mutual love for urban rhythm and blues blended with the more rural roots of American music that created their unique sound. Since the formation of their partnership in the early 70's Hall & Oates have gone on to record 21 albums which have sold over 80 million units making them the most successful duo in rock history. They have scored 10 number one records, over 20 top 40 hits and have toured the world for decades. Their influence on modern pop music has been cited by numerous contemporary bands, like the Gym Class Heroes and the Killers, who have credited and acknowledged H&O’s considerable contribution to American music.

In addition to their numerous American Music and MTV awards, in 2005 they were inducted into the American Songwriters Hall of Fame and in May of 2008 will were presented the prestigious BMI Icon Award for their outstanding career achievement in song writing.

John has since recorded three solo albums, the most recent entitled “Mississippi Mile," in Nashville featuring an amazing collection of some of the world’s top musicians. The Franklin Theatre is very excited to spend an acoustic evening with John Oates as he plays some of your Hall & Oates classic favorites as well as his newer solo material!

The opening act for John Oates is Gareth Dunlop. Born and raised in East Belfast, 24 year old Gareth Dunlop has spent the last year traveling between the U.S. and U.K. with sold out shows in Northern Ireland based on the success of his song “Fool’s Desire.” In addition, he’s opened for a diverse group of artists ranging including Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, the Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, Nanci Griffith and Angus & Julia Stone.
