Howard Jones takes Fraze back in time …

“It is a great and fantastic honor to be here tonight,” said Howard Jones in a metallic suit at 4:30 in the afternoon.

My husband described him as Paul Shaffer’s alter-ego and until he took off his sunglasses after the first song that is EXACTLY what he looked like. With 10 hit singles to his credit and over eight million albums in sales, Jones was one of the acts we were most looking forward to thanks to his string of ’80s hits and easily identifiable falsetto … who was your favorite going in and coming out?

As if he were channeling Billy Joel, Jones hammered out “Everlasting Love” solo on a keyboard towards the middle of the set which ultimately ended at 5:20 p.m. with “Things Can Only Get Better.”

He left the stage thanking a “kind and brilliant audience.”

Here’s the days schedule for those still looking for it.
