SUMMARY:Rick Estrin and The Nightcats
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 13 2026\n$35 Advance | $37 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nBlues vocalist\, harmonica master and songwriting legend Rick Estrin\, leader of the musically fearless\, wildly entertaining\, award-winning band Rick Estrin & The Nightcats\, doesn’t like to talk much about his own musical superpowers. But ask him about the Nightcats—multi-instrumentalist/musical mastermind/producer Christoffer “Kid” Andersen\, keyboardist/organ wizard/bass player Lorenzo Farrell and endlessly creative drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin—and he’ll be happy to sing their praises. “This band is killer. I’m enjoying this all more than ever\,” says the man who’s been performing and recording professionally since the early 1970s. “It’s a blessing—there’s so much energy\, so much collaboration. The band is just so good right now. And the live show is better than ever.” Living Blues calls Rick Estrin & The Nightcats “a terrific blues band with a real character for a front man\,” continuing\, “Clever\, well-crafted songs framed by first-flight musicianship…hugely entertaining\, intelligently conceived and executed roots rock with a wickedly cool and otherworldly twist on tradition. Estrin’s harp work is masterful.”\n\nRick Estrin & The Nightcats’ new album and the band’s sixth release\, The Hits Keep Coming\, packs a powerful punch\, with phenomenal musicianship and lyrics—both serious and humorous. Produced by Andersen at his legendary Greaseland USA studio in San Jose\, California\, the record captures the band’s chemistry and magic in what is certainly among their strongest\, most urgent and most cohesive releases so far. The Hits Keep Coming is modern blues at its most potent\, intense and fun in all the right places\, as Rick Estrin & The Nightcats deliver twelve groove-heavy\, hard-hitting songs\, including ten written or co-written by Estrin and two surprising covers (one obscurity from Muddy Waters\, one from Leonard Cohen that Estrin would have liked to have written). From the foot-stomping opener Somewhere Else\, to the harsh reality of the title track (with backing vocals by The Sons Of The Soul Revivers)\, to the musically infectious\, lyrically harrowing song about addiction\, The Circus Is Still In Town\, The Hits Keep Coming is a lyrical and musical tour-de-force. \nIn addition to Estrin’s celebrated songwriting and peerless blues harmonica playing\, he and the band are among the most entertaining and colorful showmen around. Estrin’s signature streetwise vocals and hipster-cool look\, Andersen’s eye-popping\, off-the-cuff guitar pyrotechnics\, Farrell’s mighty organ\, piano and bass work and D’Mar’s dynamic\, acrobatic drumming make every one of their live performances a must-see event. “People don’t go out to see people who look like themselves\,” says Estrin. “They want to see something special. I was schooled in this business to be a showman\, and that’s what you get when you come to see us perform. We know how to put on a show. I feel sorry for anyone who has to follow us.” \nEstrin was schooled by some of the very best blues musicians on the West Coast. While still a teen\, he was tutored by San Francisco’s famed musician (and pimp) Fillmore Slim. He was mentored by San Francisco’s legendary Rodger Collins and gigged with blues stars Lowell Fulson and Z.Z. Hill. Estrin moved to Chicago when he was 19 to work with Windy City bluesmen Johnny Young\, Eddie Taylor\, Sam Lay and John Littlejohn\, and even jammed with Muddy Waters. He returned to California and continued to hone his craft. By the time he joined forces with jaw-dropping guitarist Little Charlie Baty and formed Little Charlie & The Nightcats in 1976—a band he would front for the next 30 years—Estrin was a seasoned performer with plenty of talent and a gift for writing killer original songs. \nUpon Baty’s retirement from touring in 2008\, Estrin\, together with Farrell (a Nightcat since 2003)\, recruited high-flying guitar wunderkind Christoffer “Kid” Andersen and formed Rick Estrin & The Nightcats. With Kid onboard\, the band quickly became a worldwide favorite with blues fans as well as with critics and radio programmers. “Kid’s fearless on the guitar\,” says Estrin. “He’s really the only guy who could fit in with us.” With an uninhibited style that perfectly meshed with Estrin’s wildly imaginative songs\, the new band charged out of the gate with Twisted in 2009\, following up with One Wrong Turn in 2012\, You Asked For It—Live! in 2014\, Groovin’ In Greaseland in 2016 and Contemporary in 2019. Each album is its own treasure chest full of memorable songs and white-hot playing. According to the UK’s Blues & Rhythm\, “Rick Estrin & The Nightcats have crafted an instantly identifiable sound. They serve up insightful\, original blues combined with tough rock ’n’ roll. This band is superb.” \nRick Estrin & The Nightcats have performed at festivals and concert stages from San Francisco to Chicago to New York\, and everywhere in between\, and have toured the United Kingdom\, Norway\, Belgium\, France\, Switzerland\, Poland\, Australia\, Israel and even Estonia and Russia. The band has twice won the coveted Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year. Additionally\, Estrin has won Blues Music Awards for Song Of The Year\, Traditional Male Blues Artist and for Instrumentalist—Harmonica. \nThe Chicago Sun-Times declares\, “These are serious musicians having a hotter than hot good time. It’s tough to stay in your seat when Estrin and his musical cohorts get cooking.” As No Depression says\, “This is a band that always delivers the goods.”

SUMMARY:Charlie Ballantine
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 12\, 2026\n$31 Advance | $33 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nNamed as one of the top 200 living guitarists by All About Jazz Magazine\, Charlie Ballantine is acclaimed as one of the finest and most versatile  young guitarists on the scene today. JAZZ TIMES MAGAZINE hails his playing as “teeming with intricate grooves and maniacal precision his guitar work is both beautiful and complex” and VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE described his style by stating “Jazz\, rock\, and folk music peacefully coexist in Charlie Ballantine’s world”. \nEquipped with an impressive body of original compositions on albums like “Vonnegut” and “Cold Coffee”\, Ballantine also displays a great reverence for the jazz tradition through the inclusion of standards like ‘My One and Only Love’\, ‘East of the Sun’ and an entire double album dedicated to the music of Thelonious Monk released September 2021.  “In the vein of fellow guitarists like John Scofield\, Bill Frisell and Julian Lage\, Ballantine reconciles his educational background in jazz with the stylistic background of his instrument. He approaches the gratifying tonal and harmonic language of rock/roots with the groove\, ambition and improvisational focus of a jazz musician” – (JAZZIZ MAGAZINE) \nAlthough primarily a front man for his own projects with tours and frequent appearances throughout the US and Canada at venues and festivals such as the Indianapolis Jazz Festival\, The Winnipeg International Jazz Festival and The Elkhart Jazz Festival\, Ballantine also has an extensive list of side man credits having performed with names like Nicole Henry\, Walter Smith III\, Emmett Cohen\, Dave King\, John Raymond\, Russell Hall\, Frank Glover\, Steve Alee\, and Rahsaan Barber helping to further solidify him as a creative force and  put him in the highest of ranks as a performer. \n“Befitting a guitarist from America’s heartland\, Charlie Ballantine mixes jazz\, folk-rock\, surf/instro\, blues\, pop\, and country into a simmering pot of guitar sound and style.” – Vintage Guitar Magazine
