Joe Cocker Tickets

Only a few musicians have a voice as distinct as Joe Cocker and in the 40 years of his career, he has distinguished himself as one of the most prominent blue-eyed soul artists around. Before fans were fighting for Joe Cocker tickets and Joe Cocker tours were unheard of, John Robert Cocker was born in Sheffield, England during the end of WWII. While settling down into a gas fitting gig, Joe Cocker joined his first band, The Cavaliers, as a drummer and lead vocalist. When the band changed their name to Vance Arnold and the Avengers they went on tour with the Rolling Stones- the band petered out and eventually broke up afterward.

In 1965, Joe Cocker and Chris Stainton formed the Grease Band and play in pubs around England until they were discovered by producer Denny Cordell in 1967. A year later, Joe Cocker would record and perform a cover of The Beatle's "With a Little Help From My Friends" with Steve Winwood. He later performed the song during a Joe Cocker concert at Woodstock. Anyone possessing Joe Cocker tickets can confirm that his Woodstock performance was one of the most defining Joe Cocker concerts of his career.

At the height of his fame (and his troubles) in the 70's, Joe Cocker tickets sold out for his Mad Dogs and Englishman Joe Cocker Tour- the resulting live album hit the top of the charts that year. Because Joe Cocker began drinking heavily, Stainton would play lead vocals. Despite this, one of the biggest hits Joe Cocker ever made was during this tumultuous time - "You Are So Beautiful." Although Joe Cocker tickets to Joe Cocker tours were fairly popular during the 70's, his studio releases didn't chart very well.

After an arrest in Australia and a messy decade of drug and alcohol abuse, Joe Cocker finally changed directions with the release of his track with Jennifer Warnes - "Up Where We Belong." In total, Joe Cocker has released 20 studio albums and over 30 singles. He was awarded an Officer of the Order of the British Empire and received a Grammy Award.

Joe Cocker tickets have been on sale for multiple Joe Cocker tours and have ultimately sold out. As fans know, Joe Cocker has an incredible stage presence. Known for contorting his body and flailing his arms, this blue-eyed blues musician can inspire even the harshest critic. And just like his stage persona, Joe Cocker's voice is a force to be reckoned with- gruff and gritty screeches, howls and harmonies characterize Joe Cocker's unique tone and that just keeps fans coming back for more Joe Cocker tickets.

The Joe Cocker 2009 tour is set to have select songs from his extensive repertoire meant to tickle true fan's fancies, he said - "I'm going to pick out two or three and swap them out over this next tour and see how they go." Can you guess which songs Joe Cocker will play on the Joe Cocker tour? The only way to find out is with Joe Cocker tickets!
