Starship in Monroe

Starship is an American pop-rock band that emerged in San Francisco from Jefferson Starship in the mid-1980s. Its best-known recordings include “We Built This City,” “Sara” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” along with the albums Knee Deep in the Hoopla and No Protection. Grace Slick was among the lead vocalists at the band’s mid-1980s concerts, when Starship played arenas and theatres behind its first two albums. After the original group disbanded, a new touring lineup was assembled in the early 1990s. That version performs at theatres, casinos and festivals across the United States under the name Starship featuring Mickey Thomas.
