George Lawrence Thorogood (February 24, 1950) is an American singer, musician, and songwriter. Being inspired by a John P. Hammond concert in 1970, Thorogood started as a solo artist in the vein of Robert Johnson and Elmore James. With his high school buddy and drummer Jeff Simon, he started the Delaware Destroyers band in 1973. The band expanded and found its sound, combining Chicago blues and rock and roll. Maverick and Born to Be Bad, two more albums by Thorogood and his band from the '80s, earned platinum. The former includes "I Drink Alone," a concert favorite, and "Willie and the Hand Jive," a cover of Johnny Otis's song that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Although "Get a Haircut" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart in 1992, Thorogood's popularity declined throughout the decade. Thorogood received recognition as one of the "50 Most Influential Delawareans of the Past 50 Years" in 2012. In 2017, he released Party of One, his first genuine solo album. Thorogood received the MMP Music Award and was inducted into the Mississippi Music Project Hall of Fame in Biloxi, Mississippi, on March 14, 2020. On April 11, 2023, Thorogood's social media pages revealed he was gravely ill. However, they did not specify what was wrong with him. This resulted in the cancellation of all tour dates from April 27 to May 21.

Essential Event-Day Checklist

Before You Leave

Digital Tickets: Download tickets to your phone's wallet now. Venue Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable.
ID Check: Bring a valid photo ID; many venues require it for entry or "Will Call" pickup.
Bag Policy: Most venues enforce clear bag policies or limits (typically A4 size or smaller). Check the specific venue site to avoid being turned away.
Cash & Cards: While many venues are now cashless, bring some cash as a backup.

Pro-Tips

Power Up: Bring a portable power bank. Using your phone for video and ride-sharing will drain your battery fast.
Hearing Safety: Use high-fidelity earplugs to enjoy the event while protecting your hearing.
Hydration & Energy: Eat a full meal and stay hydrated beforehand.

Dress for Success

Footwear: Wear broken-in sneakers or boots. You could be standing for 3–5 hours; avoid new shoes.
Layer Up: Wear light layers (flannel or light jacket). Venues can range from chilly to very hot.
Style: Be yourself, but it always helps to have pockets or a small crossbody bag to keep essentials secure and hands-free.

Logistics & Safety

Arrive Early: Get there 60 minutes before doors to beat the merch and security lines.
Transport: Pre-book your ride share or scout parking garages in advance to avoid post-show surges.
Stay Safe: Identify your nearest exit upon arrival and designate a meeting spot for your group.
