Lou Gramm, co-founder and original singer of Foreigner, will reunite with his band at the BayCare Sound in Clearwater on April 18.
But before his performance, he’ll celebrate Record Store Day in St. Petersburg.
Gramm will visit the Factory St. Pete (2606 Fairfield Ave S.) for an album signing at 2 p.m. hosted by Daddy Kool Records. According to social media posts from the store, priority will be given to the first fans to line up at 8 a.m. and buy a Record Store Day-exclusive Foreigner album: “Foreigner 4 Live Tour 1981-82,” a double LP that was recorded at concerts in California, England and Germany.
Daddy Kool Records is selling physical tickets to the BayCare Sound show, and each comes with a free Foreigner poster that fans can bring to the signing. Also up for preorder: Gramm’s new solo album, “Released,” which comes out March 27.

Foreigner’s current tour celebrates that band’s 50th anniversary. In 2024, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
During the BayCare Sound show, students from the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts Choir will help sing “I Want to Know What Love Is.” A spokesperson for the band said Foreigner will also donate $500 to the choir program.
