The “definitive” David Bowie experience is coming to Genesis Theatre next Friday.

Syl Thompson and a live band will be putting on A Night of Bowie that pays tribute to the late English music icon.

The show includes lots of hits from throughout Bowie’s extensive career, he says.

“People will recognize these songs, that’s for sure,” says Thompson, counting Heroes, Ashes to Ashes and Slow Burn among his favourites to perform.

Thompson says he’s a big fan of Bowie, describing the star as a groundbreaker and someone who evolved throughout his career.

“I can remember hearing Hunky Dory for the first time and I thought, ‘Wow, this is crazy, this guy is so good.’”

Thompson says it’s an honour to get on stage and play Bowie’s tunes.

“It’s a real pleasure playing this music, first off. And it’s a real pleasure to play for people who really enjoy his music.”

A Night of Bowie is set for next Friday, March 16 at 8 p.m. at Genesis Theatre, 5005-45th Ave., Ladner. Tickets are $38.50. Call 604-507-6355 or visit http://bellperformingartscentre.com/ for tickets.
