It\u2019s certain that some in the audience at Haley Reinhart\u2019s show at the Fox Theatre on Aug. 2 will be there to see the singer who got her initial start on American Idol<\/em> back in 2009. But Redwood City is home base for her opening act, Mike Annuzzi, and he\u2019s very revved up about this concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annuzzi, who guesstimates he plays about 300 shows a year, has been on stages as large as the BottleRock Napa music festival and as small as any number of local clubs. But this show is different. \u201cAs a musician walking onto the stage at the Fox Theatre, you feel a big responsibility to perform among the greats who have been there before me. I think of Tony Bennett, Etta James, Neil Young, BB King, Lyle Lovett, and so many others.\u201d Annuzzi says. \u201cThis venue is truly a capsule of history and I am so happy to be included as a local independent artist, especially having the opportunity to share the stage with Haley.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show begins at 7pm on Saturday, and the Fox is located at 2221 Broadway St, Redwood City. Tickets are available at foxrwc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
