About John Waite

John will perform his catalogue of hits from his 40-year career as a solo artist, with The Babys and Bad English.

John Waite’s catalog of hits features some of the most loved songs of the ’80s and ’90s – the #1 worldwide hit “Missing You,” The Babys’ “Isn’t It Time” and Bad English’s “When I See You Smile” rank amongst some of his biggest international hits and are still heard on the radio today.  Other songs include ‘Tears,” “Change,” and “These Times Are Hard For Lovers.” “Every Step Of The Way” and “If Anybody Had A Heart” appeared on the 1986 Demi Moore film About Last Night soundtrack. “Deal for Life,” penned by Martin Page and Bernie Taupin, was featured in the Days of Thunder soundtrack.

As a solo artist and as the lead singer of The Babys and Bad English, John Waite was a fixture of album-oriented rock radio stations during the ’70s and ’80s. John Waite had a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop as well.

We’ve been on cruises before, but this one was so different and so much fun! Leave your dressy clothes at home. Pack your concert T-shirts and you’re good to go. The music is top notch and yes they still sound great!! I feel like it was a once in a lifetime experience (unless I go again).
