Eddie Money to rock Dearborn’s 2008 Homecoming weekend

Anticipation is building for Dearborn’s 2008 Homecoming festival at Ford Field Park on August 1-3.

Dearborn residents and guests can look forward to a rockin’ good time as legendary singer and songwriter Eddie Money and his band will headline the weekend celebration at 8 p.m. Saturday, August 2 on the main stage.
Money was most famous in the 1970s and the early 80s with his string of Top 40 hits, best-selling albums like No Control and Playing For Keeps, and his MTV music videos.

Born Edward Mahoney, the singer’s unique voice and catchy song lyrics still make him a radio favorite today.

His earlier hits included “Shakin,” Think I’m In Love,” “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Where’s the Party?”

And a late 80s comeback brought the popular songs “I Wanna Go Back” and “Take Me Home Tonight,” which featured a duet with rocker Ronnie Spector.
He continued his successful career in the 1990s with albums featuring classic oldies, new material and favorite songs revisited.

Today the singer spends time touring across the country, and appearing on celebrity television shows and radio programs.

Younger generations might recognize the song Shakin, which is a playable track on the famous video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.

Eddie Money is just one highlight of the 2008 Homecoming celebration, which will feature plenty of fantastic live entertainment, carnival rides, reunions, an art fair, and fireworks.

The weekend-long celebration will also have historical re-enactments, food stations, sports contests, and children’s activities.
