Review for John Tesh:
One of the world’s most-renowned composers and entertainers, John Tesh has established himself as a charismatic and engaging musician, providing his audiences with a dazzling evening of music, comedy, romance and a soaring spirituality. Add to that spectacular lighting effects and the talents of guest performers and “John Tesh In Concert: Music and Intelligence for Your Life” becomes a high-energy evening of music and more for the entire family.

Tesh’s personality and music took PBS by storm with Live at Red Rocks and, with that success gave the former Entertainment Tonight anchor a solid fan base to showcase his musical talents. With his live concert audiences will get to experience much of Tesh’s energy he first displayed on PBS.

The evening features his hits as well as elements from Tesh's nationally syndicated radio show, The John Tesh Radio Show: Music and Intelligence For Your Life, which is heard by more than eight million listeners each week in over 325 markets and was named “Best Daily Program” and “Best Weekly Music Program” by Radio Ink magazine readers.

In a 30 year career that includes investigative reporting for CBS NEWS, Olympic commentating for NBC sports, 10 years as host of Entertainment Tonight, five gold albums, six Emmy Awards, Grammy nominations, and current host of The John Tesh Radio Show, Tesh has established himself as a world-renowned broadcaster /entrepreneur.

Much of that wisdom that Tesh shares with his radio show listeners also appears in his new book, Intelligence for Your Life – Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth, which was recently featured on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and Amazon.com best-seller lists.
