"The Joe Cocker Express: Mad Dog vs. The Englishman" is an extraordinary tribute show that takes you on a journey through the legendary career of Joe Cocker, capturing the essence of two defining eras in his life.

This dynamic performance begins with the soulful, mature sounds of Cocker’s later years—known as "The Englishman"—before diving into the raw, gritty energy of his early career as the "Mad Dog".

In the first act, the show explores the sophisticated sound of the '80s and beyond, featuring iconic hits like "Up Where We Belong", "Unchain My Heart" and "You Can Leave Your Hat On”. This segment showcases Cocker’s deep, gravelly voice that resonated with audiences around the world, delivering a powerful performance that reflects his seasoned artistry.

The second act transports you back to the rebellious spirit of the late '60s and '70s. Here, the energy ramps up with Cocker’s groundbreaking renditions of classics like "Feelin’ Alright", "The Letter" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". This act channels the electrifying performances that made Cocker a Woodstock legend and a rock icon with his Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour.

Don’t miss this unforgettable tribute to one of rock and soul’s greatest voices recently inducted into the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
