The Long Run: A Journey through the Music of The Eagles
The Long Run reproduces the sound that made the Eagles one of the most successful musical groups in rock and roll history. They capture the energy, guitar technique and vocal harmonies of the Eagles: six voices blending together that will please even the most critical Eagles’ fans. The Long Run has shared the stage with great artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steppenwolf, Eddie Money, Beach Boys, Trace Adkins, just to name a few.
