Amy Kucharik and Tiger Moan invite special guests each month and push the tables aside to make room for dancing. This month we feature the incomparable Sax Gordon! As usual, we'll have a blues dance lesson at 7:30 courtesy of Blues Union; live music begins promptly at 8pm.
Sax Gordon has spent decades on the road and in the studios with many of the greats of Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Jazz and Blues. Before leading his own bands around the world, Gordon was featured on albums and international tours with Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Duke Robillard, Jimmy Witherspoon, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, Jay McShann, Junior Watson, and Roomful of Blues, and his unmistakable solos can also be heard on recordings by American Jazz & Blues legends like Jimmy McGriff, Pinetop Perkins, Rosco Gordon, Billy Boy Arnold, and Champion Jack Dupree. Sax Gordon brings to life the great tradition of Rocking American Saxophone like no other performer on the scene today. https://saxgordon.com/
