It is that

time again.

The Frederick

Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City opens their doors this weekend,

kicking off the summer concert series with a little help from Eddie Money.

Money has had

a successful career spanning over 20 years. He was discovered by Bill

Graham, one of the most influential men in rock and roll history, at a

San Francisco Sound of the Cities talent show. Graham used his vast knowledge

and managed Money's career, which has featured 12 albums, more than 10

top 40 singles, and 12 million albums sold worldwide. Some of Money's

more popular hits are "Baby Hold On," "Shakin'," "Two

Tickets to Paradise" and "Take Me Home Tonight," which

cemented Money's comeback in the mid 1980s.

Money recorded

some new tracks on a recent album, "Shakin' With The Money Man."

Several of the new songs were co-written with some of rock's bigger names

including John Waite ("Missing You") and Paul Stanley of Kiss.

Money even re-teamed with Ronnie Spector, who appeared on "Take Me

Home Tonight," for the track "Everybody Loves Christmas."

He also released the album "Ready Eddie."

Opening for

Money will be local group Paradise Rodeo, an Atlanta based country band

that blends new country with traditional country.

There are still

some seats available for both Friday and Saturday's performances, though

Amphitheater Director Donna Romeo states that there are more available

on Friday than Saturday. Tickets are $45 each and the show starts at 8

p.m. each night. For more information, phone 770-631-0630.
