About John Fogerty

2022-Fogerty-Circle.png

John Fogerty is a true American treasure. As the leader of Creedence Clearwater

Revival, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern-fried rock ‘n’ roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective. Fogerty is a Grammy winner and inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame with his song, Centerfield - a staple at baseball stadiums across the country. Among Fogerty’s many hit songs, both as a solo artist and as the leader of CCR, highlights include Centerfield, Proud Mary, Susie Q, Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, and Have You Ever Seen the Rain.
