Don Felder, former lead guitarist for The Eagles, is currently touring in support of his new CD “The Road to Forever.” Felder will perform at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center as part of the University Arts Series on Friday, March 20. The performance is titled “An Evening at the Hotel California.” Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices and online at ticketmaster.com.

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Felder was a member of The Eagles for 27 years, putting his mark on many of the band’s milestones. He originated the music and co-wrote the band’s biggest hit — the iconic, Grammy-studded “Hotel California.” The Eagles’ record-setting compilation “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)” sold more than 29 million copies in the United States alone. Felder is celebrated for his lyrical, signature guitar work on not only “Hotel California” but “One of These Nights” and “New Kid in Town” as well.
After leaving The Eagles in 2001, Felder became a New York Times bestselling author when his confessional memoir “Heaven and Hell: My Life with The Eagles” proved to be a commercial triumph in 2008. He has worked on session recordings and live performances with The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Kenny Loggins, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Boz Scaggs, and many, many more music legends.

Felder is currently touring to support his new CD “The Road to Forever” which features some of the best musicians in the business: Crosby, Stills & Nash; Tommy Shaw of STYX; “American Idol’s” Randy Jackson; and more. The album’s latest single, “Wash Away the Pain,” reached No. 4 on the classic rock media charts and has been critically acclaimed throughout the industry.

Felder recently toured with STYX and Foreigner, and has signed on for some select dates with The Doobie Brothers starting in April.
