Ninth Annual ‘Scott Hamilton & Friends’ To Feature Rock Legends, Skating Champions

/by

Scott Hamilton is gathering his friends for an electrifying mix of rock anthems and world-class figure skating at the ninth annual “Scott Hamilton & Friends” event at Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 23.

This year’s lineup is legendary with an all-star band of rock legends for one night only featuring Jason Derlatka (Journey), Jason Scheff (Chicago), John Elefante (Kansas), Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Mike Reno (Loverboy), Wally Palmar (The Romantics) and returning house band Sixwire.

The music greats will deliver the soundtrack of a generation live while the most celebrated figure skaters take the ice for gravity-defying flips, jaw-dropping spins and routines that combine raw athleticism and grace with rock music’s biggest hits. Figure skaters rocking the rink will include Olympians Jeremy Abbott, Nathan Chen, Keegan Messing, Mariah Bell, Polina Edmunds, and Sinead Kerr Marshall + John Kerr alongside viral sensation Elladj Baldé and skating icon Maxim Naumov.

“This is my favorite night of the year,” says Scott Hamilton. “The energy of rock legends and elite skaters coming together for one night only is unlike anything else and it fuels a bigger mission of changing the cancer story for future survivors. What could be better?!?!”

Hosted by Hamilton, the once-in-a-lifetime night benefits the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation, supporting innovative cancer research and patient care. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster and the Bridgestone Arena box office.
