MEET THE ARTISTS:
KSF: A Tribute to Kansas, Styx, and Foreigner
KSF was formed in Connecticut in 2019 by six veterans of the music scene. Our goal is simple: to provide the audience with an authentic recreation of three of music's most iconic bands of the 70s and 80s.
Sweet Magic
Sweet Magic performs the most popular rock songs from the biggest bands of the 70’s and 80s re-creating the experience of Classic Rock from a time where many thought rock and roll was at its best. Their driving edge show fully engages the crowd with song renditions including legendary artists such as Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Blondie, Melissa Ethridge, Foreigner, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Ozzy, and more. They capture the energy and power that has made this style of music one of the most popular of all time.
