RANCHO CORDOVA, California - June 8, 2006 -- Huey Lewis and the News will be performing at Hansen's 20th Annual 2006 Network User Group Conference on October 11th. This private engagement is open to conference attendees only.

"I could not think of a better way to celebrate our 20th annual user group, the worldwide success of Hansen 8, and our recent acquisitions, than to have Huey Lewis and the News play for our annual dinner event," said Gary Berry, Hansen's Worldwide Alliance Manager and organizer for this year's annual conference. "All our business partners, industry consultants, sponsors, and especially our clients from around the world, agree that music is a great common denominator. Join us as we celebrate 20 years of bringing Hansen customers together to make governments more efficient and effective."

As Hansen's Annual International User Conference has become the number one destination for sharing ideas and workflows in managing the business of government, a record number of attendees are expected. To provide an extra incentive for early registration (prior to July 31st, 2006), Hansen will select 20 people from the list of early registrants to receive a special 'Back Stage Pass' to meet & greet Huey Lewis, have a photo taken with Huey, and enjoy preferred seating during the concert.

About Huey Lewis and the News
Best known for their infectious pop anthems in the mid '80s, Huey Lewis and the News was one of the most successful bands of the era, soaring to success with a number of top-40 singles. The group released a self-titled album in 1980 and followed up with Picture This, which was released in 1982 and featured the singles "Do You Believe in Love" and "Workin' for a Livin'." This success, combined with heavy touring, started to win the band a following.

The band went multi-platinum with their third album, Sports, which featured "Heart and Soul," "I Want a New Drug," "The Heart of Rock and Roll," and "If This Is It." The singles from Sports and later albums were accompanied by accessible music videos that received heavy airplay on MTV. In 1985, the band achieved their first number one hit with "The Power of Love," taken from the soundtrack to the movie "Back to the Future." The band's fourth album, Fore!, quickly shot to number one, propelled by the success of songs like "Stuck With You," "Hip to be Square," "Jacob's Ladder," and "Doing It All For My Baby."

During the late '80s and early '90s, the band released two albums, Small World and Hard at Play, which produced the hits "Perfect World" and "Couple Days Off," respectively. Their most recent hit is "But It's Alright," from 1994 cover album Four Chords and Several Years Ago. The band also released a greatest hits album in 1996, titled The Time Flies: The Best of Huey Lewis and the News. This summer, Huey Lewis and the News will be touring with Chicago.
