Kevin Costner Show Nearly Sold Out

As of late last night, there were just about 40 tickets left for tonight's musical performance by Kevin Costner and Modern West at the .

If you're planning on going, get on the phone, head down to the box office, or hit up the theatre's Web site right now. You might run out of time before the 8 p.m. performance.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the Kevin Costner and Modern West show this weekend, and fully expect it to sell-out by Saturday,” said Piyush Patel, Owner of the Park Theatre. “What has made the concert even more appealing to the community is the fact that our tickets are priced so affordably – some 50 to 80 percent less than other venues around the country.”

Costner is known around the world for his acting work, but his first love has always been music. He has been writing, playing and recording on the side for years.

About 20 years ago, he met John Coinman in Los Angeles at an acting workshop. They, along with Blair Forward, played and wrote music together. They formed Roving Boy, a rock band that scored a record deal in Japan and got to the top of the charts with the single "Simple Truth."

The band kept playing and recording in the background as Costner's career in Hollywood took up most of his limelight. In 2005, they met Teddy Morgan, a guitarist and producer and Larry Cobb, forming Kevin Costner and Modern West.

According to a release, "Kevin Costner and Modern West draw their influences from a broad tapestry of American music and beyond. The show itself flows from original material penned by the band to cover songs written by some of music’s giants."

Tickets are priced at $35, $45, and $55. For an additional $25 per person, patrons can add a pre-performance dinner package at the Stage Door Restaurant & Lounge which is adjacent to the Theatre. Tickets may be purchased at the Theatre’s secure website www.ParkTheatreRI.com or by calling the Box Office at (401) 467-7275. The Park Theatre is located at 848 Park Ave.
