Night Ranger have been touring behind “Sister Christian” in one form or another since the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1984, and the case for still showing up four decades on is simple: the catalog holds. Their August 2026 Best Of compilation, offering newly remixed and remastered versions of the signature tracks alongside selections from recent work, gives this January run a clearer frame than most Night Ranger dates require. The Sherman Theater stop is part of a two-night Pennsylvania run; the previous evening lands at Keswick Theatre in Glenside.
About the Show
The current Night Ranger lineup (Jack Blades on bass and vocals, Kelly Keagy on drums and vocals, Brad Gillis and Keri Kelli on guitars, and Eric Levy on keyboards) traces its origins to San Francisco in the early 1980s. Before Night Ranger existed, Blades and Gillis were playing together in Rubicon, a Bay Area group led by Jerry Martini of Sly & the Family Stone; Keagy joined the fold shortly after, and the band eventually settled on the Night Ranger name, debuting first as Stereo. Their debut, Dawn Patrol, arrived in 1982. “Sister Christian” followed two years later, reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and anchoring the power-ballad sound that defined the era as much as any single track. Additional charting singles from that commercial peak included “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me,” “(You Can Still) Rock in America,” “Sentimental Street” (which peaked at #8 on the Hot 100), and “Goodbye” (#17). The band also recorded the theme for Michael J. Fox’s 1987 film The Secret of My Success. Night Ranger disbanded in 1989 and reunited in 1996, subsequently releasing new studio albums—Neverland in 1997, Somewhere in California in 2011, and Don’t Let Up in 2017—and maintaining a touring schedule that, by the band’s own accounting, has covered more than 4,000 stages over the course of four-plus decades. The new Best Of, released August 28, 2026, presents that catalog in newly remixed and remastered form. Total career sales are reported at 17 million albums worldwide.
