Tower hosts pop hit-maker Tiffany

Published 3:30 pm Tuesday, October 19, 2021

Former teen pop star Tiffany performs Tuesday at the Tower Theatre.

Readers of a certain age may remember Tiffany, the teen-pop singer who scored a massive hit in 1987 with her peppy cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” which had been a hit for Tommy James and the Shondells 20 years earlier.

She followed that one with another #1 song, a ballad called “Could’ve Been,” and a tour of shopping malls, and then her music career started to fade from prominence. But she has been cranking out singles and albums ever since, not to mention appearing in TV (in programs such as “How I Met Your Mother”) and in movies (such as “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid”), starting her own cooking club and touring.

Tiffany’s website says she released a new album on Oct. 1, but if she did, it doesn’t appear to be available on the usual streaming services. Maybe it’s delayed. Either way, if you see her at Bend’s Tower Theatre Tuesday night, you’ll probably hear some of her new material, and you’ll almost certainly hear “I Think We’re Alone Now.”

Tiffany: $35-$55; 7:30 p.m. Tuesday; Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend; towertheatre.org or 541-317-0700.
