ORANGE PARK — Heavy-hitting rock legends Night Ranger recently released a live album titled “40 Years and a Night” with Contemporary Youth Orchestra. The historic collaboration with CYO marks the first time Night Ranger has performed with a live symphonic orchestra, providing a unique and soaring backdrop to signature classics such as “Sister Christian,” “(You Can Still) Rock In America,” and “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” among many others. The live concert event was a two-part special for AXS TV in the fall of 2023. In addition to all this, Night Ranger is also on the road continuing the celebration of their landmark 40-year anniversary and will continue to tour across the country throughout 2024.

Fans can see much of that concert when Night Ranger appears at the Thrasher-Horne Center on Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, which range from $39 to $80, with VIP packages ranging from $214 to $484, are available at the box office or at thcenter.org.

Having sold more than 17 million albums worldwide, performed across more than 4,000 stages, and captivated a radio audience exceeding 1 billion, Night Ranger has epitomized and transcended the arena rock sound and style well beyond that era. The band continues to grow its ever-evolving fan base, proving that powerful songs alongside incredibly talented musicians are the perfect formula for continued success.

Night Ranger has earned widespread recognition that includes both multi-platinum and gold album status, all while leaving their indelible mark on the music industry with a long list of best-selling albums (“Dawn Patrol,” “Midnight Madness,” “7 Wishes, Big” “Life” and “Man In Motion.”) Their popularity is fueled by an impressive number of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks. During the years, the band’s music has made notable contributions to and been featured in many different areas of global media and pop culture.

Night Ranger was one of MTV’s first big “video” bands, with more than 10 No. 1 hit videos. Their songs can be heard on TV shows like “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “American Dad,” “Glee,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Parks & Recreation.”

Most recently, the band’s classic hit “Sister Christian” was heard in a Dr. Pepper commercial.
