Eddie Money

Eddie Money burst onto the music scene in 1977 with a double platinum debut album that featured hits like Baby Hold On and Two Tickets to Paradise. Fans fell in love with Eddie's sound, and success soon followed with a stream of Top 40 hits. The Levitt Pavilion is proud to host a true rock legend this summer when Chesapeake Energy presents Eddie Money on Saturday, June 23, for the pavilion's benefit concert.

In addition to his Top 40 hits, Money is known for some of the era's most creative videos for songs like Think I'm in Love and Shakin'. Then, in 1986, Eddie released the classic, Grammy-nominated duet with Ronnie Spector, Take Me Home Tonight, which reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and still receives regular air time on oldies radio stations across the country. 

 The Eddie Money concert will include a $150 VIP ticket that includes dinner before the show plus VIP seating at the concert. Individual tickets for the concert only will be $25. Tickets for the benefit dinner and the concert go on sale to the public on April 16.  Ticket sales for the benefit concert help raise funds for the Levitt Pavilion to produce 50 free concerts a year.

More about Eddie Money

Born Edward Joseph Mahoney in Brooklyn, Eddie dreamed of being a musician, but after high school, he followed his father's career path and became a police officer. In 1968, after serving as a New York City Police Officer for two years, Eddie left law enforcement, moved to Berkeley and began performing at local clubs.  In 1976, after changing his last name from Mahoney to Money, Eddie's fate changed when he was introduced to legendary promoter Bill Graham while performing at one of Graham's events and signed a recording contract with Columbia Records.

 As the years have passed, Eddie's blue-collar brand of rock-n-roll has sold more than 28 million records, transcended generations and continues to move audiences, young and not-so-young. Eddie draws fans from all over eager to see the legendary musician who has retained his signature style and performs with the same passion as he did more than 30 years ago.  
 
In addition to maintaining a busy touring schedule, Eddie has been featured on television shows, like The King of Queens and The Drew Carey Show, and has performed on Saturday Night Live. His songs have appeared in dozens of movies and television shows and have been included in video games like "Grand Theft Auto" and "Guitar Hero."

In recent years, Eddie has been joined on tour by his daughter, Jesse, who is following in her father's musical footsteps.  Eddie and his wife Laurie also have four sons: Zachary, Joseph, Desmond and Julian.
