Lita Ford and Dee Snider will be joined by FireHouse to rock Pearl River Resort.
High voltage show comes to Pearl River Resort Saturday, Dec. 27
Dee Snider Encore Set to rock Silver Star
CHOCTAW — Three icons of 1980s and ‘90s hard rock — Dee Snider, Lita Ford and FireHouse — will share the stage for the Dee Snider Encore Set on Saturday, Dec. 27, at the Silver Star Convention Center inside Pearl River Resort’s Silver Star Hotel & Casino. The show starts at 8 p.m.
Dee Snider, born Daniel Snider in 1955 in Astoria, New York, rose from the Long Island club circuit to worldwide fame as the flamboyant, outspoken frontman and primary songwriter of Twisted Sister. The band’s 1984 album Stay Hungry went multi-platinum, powered by the defiant anthems “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” both of which became MTV staples and enduring symbols of rebellion. More than 40 years later, Snider remains one of rock’s most explosive live performers, delivering high-voltage shows packed with the same snarling energy, crowd interaction and larger-than-life stage command that made Twisted Sister legendary.
Lita Ford, born in London in 1958 and raised in Los Angeles, first made history as lead guitarist for the groundbreaking all- female band The Runaways alongside Joan Jett. After the Runaways disbanded, Ford launched a solo career that peaked with the 1988 platinum album Lita and its smash singles “Kiss
Me Deadly” and “Close My Eyes Forever,” her duet with Ozzy Osbourne that reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 — still the highest-charting single by a female hard-rock artist. Known for her blistering guitar work and sultry, powerful vocals, Ford’s live performances remain electrifying, blending shredding solos with raw sexual energy that has kept audiences enthralled for decades.
FireHouse, formed in 1989 in Charlotte, North Carolina, burst onto the scene with their self-titled 1990 debut album that produced the No. 1 power ballad “Love of a Lifetime,” the Top 10 hit “When I Look Into Your Eyes” and rock radio staples “Don’t Treat Me Bad” and “All She Wrote.” The band earned an American Music Award for Favorite Heavy Metal/ Hard Rock New Artist in 1992, beating out Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Now fronted by vocalist Nate Peck following the 2024 passing of founding singer CJ Snare, FireHouse continues to tour extensively, delivering the same soaring melodies, dual- guitar harmonies and crowd-pleasing live spectacle that have made them a fan favorite for over 35 years.
