Two of the best in the world of blues will be on stage together at The Kent Stage Sunday June 23rd as Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite come to Kent Ohio.
Elvin Bishop first gained national prominence as the lead guitarist of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and as a solo artist was inducted into the Blues Hall Of Fame. He is well known for his hit “Fooled Around And Fell In Love”.
Charlie Musselwhite’s journey through the blues was from his birth in Mississippi to Memphis, Chicago and California. Arriving in Chicago in the early sixties, he was just in time for the epochal blues revival. In 1966 at the age of 22 he recorded the landmark Stand Back! to rave reviews. A precipitous relocation to San Francisco in 1967, where his album was being played on underground radio, found him welcomed into the counterculture scene around the Fillmore West as an authentic purveyor of the real deal blues. He is also a member of the Blues Hall Of Fame.
Together they have many awards including 20 Grammy nominations, 1 Grammy Award, Played of 3 Grammy Winning LP’s and 42 Blues Foundation Awards.
This is going to be a night of great blues! Tickets go on sale Saturday April 6th at 10am at kentstage.org
