MITCH WOODS & HIS ROCKET 88S:
Mitch Woods & His Rocket 88s have been the torchbearers of a great American blues musical heritage for over three decades. Taking their inspiration from the great jump & boogie outfits and swingin' little big bands of the 1940s and '50s, and adding a healthy dose of New Orleans rhythm and blues, pile-drivin' piano, and some of Woods' own contemporary playful lyrics, they breathe fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock'n'roll. Don't miss this National Blues Hall of Fame inductee and his hard-swingin' band with a special expanded 5-piece lineup!
