Ezra Ray Hart Rock Concert at California HR Conference
If you were alive in the 1990’s, you’ve definitely heard, grooved with, roller-skated to, or sang in your car to the massive hits produced by the rockstars featured in our Tuesday Night Music Show: Ezra Ray Hart!
These frontmen from chart-topping bands Sugar Ray, Tonic, and Better Than Ezra are teaming up to take us on a wild ride through mega hits like Fly, Someday, When It’s Over, Open Up Your Eyes, Good, Juicy, and so much more. Together, Ezra Ray Hart members have sold over 10 million albums in the US and have 18 top ten hit singles on the US charts, including five #1 hits. Their setlist is packed with songs you can’t help but bob your head and sing along with!
We’re committed to making fun an integral part of the California HR Conference. Why else would we throw a full rock concert on Tuesday night? It’s time to celebrate and reap the benefits of live music – including reduced cortisol, and extended lifespan. Get ready to “live forever” – or at least shake off some stress – at the CAHR19 Tuesday Night Rock Concert!
