Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage - note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital,” says Martin, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music; “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote - ‘note for note, cut for cut’ accuracy.”

With 100+ shows a year across North America, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centres and theatres. Fans in Texas, Florida, California, New York and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining, successful show.

C.C.R. Chronicle Vol 1 

Do you like rock ’n’ roll? 
Grooving? 
Singing along? 
Feeling good? 
Then come on down to the corner 
And get on the good foot with the CAL CCR show   

All hits 
I’s incredible how many hits john fogerty wrote 
All within the span of 2 years 
I often state that the eagles are america’s best band 
perhaps it’s creedence?   

We take this music seriously 
We learn it note for note  
And then perform it 
But the secret ingredient in our performance 
Is the vibe on stage 
This music connects you to your other bandmates 
Kind of like a pack mentality 
Sure we’re just strumming a G chord at times 
But the wall of sound that rises up from that chord 
Feels like a wave of good vibes   

This show is as close to church as CAL gets 
The communal feeling  
And the warmth of nostalgia are palpable 
We have to tell the ushers pre show 
To just let people stand up and dance 
It’s that kind of a show
