Gramm was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in 1997 and it took him years to retrain himself to be the singer he once was. After several solo tours and reunion shows with Foreigner, Lou has regained the spark that made him one of rock and roll’s brightest stars.

Lou Gramm will be performing Saturday night, October 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Effingham Performance Center.
