Whitaker Center is pleased to welcome back Solar Federation, the only American Rush tribute band invited to perform at A Night for Neil, the 2022 memorial concert organized by Overtime Angels with the blessing of Neil’s parents, Glen and Betty Peart.
Solar Federation brings its award-winning interpretation of the iconic progressive rock band’s music to Whitaker Center on Saturday, November 29.
Solar Federation celebrates the entirety of Rush’s career, digging deep into its massive catalog of FM radio hits, rarely played album cuts, and complex prog rock epics. And with the show taking place on International Rush Day, the band will celebrate by performing side 1 of the “2112” album in its entirety.
Over the last 10 years, Solar Federation has established itself as a faithful tribute to Rush, garnering praise from fans around the globe not only for the meticulous attention to detail of guitarist Eric Wirsing, bassist/keyboardist Mike Bitts, and drummer Ffej Herb, but also for vocalist Julie Schreiber’s unique presentation of the band’s dynamic melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
