Caloosa Sound Amphitheater, located adjacent to Luminary Hotel & Co. in the Fort Myers River District, announced its highly anticipated inaugural show of 2023 featuring legendary rock band, Foghat.
On Thursday, Oct. 12, Foghat will rock the stage, taking concert goers on a “slow ride” of musical nostalgia with a show that promises to relive classic hits and make new memories celebrating music, community and the vibrant spirit of downtown Fort Myers.

“Our team is excited to present Foghat for the inaugural show of our 2023 season at the Caloosa Sound Amphitheater,” said Robert Nokley, general manager of Luminary Hotel & Co. “The start of the new concert series underscores our dedication to creating unforgettable experiences and bringing exceptional live entertainment to the riverfront.”
Foghat was a mainstay of 1970s rock and roll with a rich musical history spanning more than five decades. Achieving eight gold records, one platinum and one double platinum album, they are known for such hits as “Slow Ride,” “Fool for the City,” “Ride, Ride, Ride” and “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” Drummer and founding member Roger Earl and lead guitarist Bryan Bassett (a 24-year member of Foghat) lead the band. Scot Holt, former Buddy Guy guitarist, and Rodney O’Quinn round out the group.
