You’re in luck. I’ve booked him for a show at the Arden Gild Hall on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 8 p.m. Jason Ricci is the reigning, and 2-time, Blues Music Award Winner for Best Harmonica. He is also one of very few openly-gay blues musicians, and he doesn’t hesitate to flaunt it. He also may be the single most hilarious performer we’ve ever had on the Gild Hall stage. He played harmonica for Paul Butterfield’s induction into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame. He was the harp player on Johnny Winter’s Grammy Award-winning album, “Step Back”. He is by far the most-in-demand for his online harmonica lessons.
Jason will be bringing his N’Awlins band The Bad Kind with him to the Gild Hall. Did I mention that he can play? Here are two tastes for you:
And, as always, I’ve got a great opener:
Tickets are $25 for the general public and $20 for Arden Club members, and you can get ’em right here. I will also be the MC that night, and I’ve been known to garner a laugh or two myself. This will be a real fun show with great musicianship. Hope to see you there…even those of you who may ‘hate the blues’.
