The historic Cincinnati, OH based record label KING RECORDS released and fully embraced both rhythm & blues and hillbilly artists – this show will feature selections from both repertoires performed by RICKY NYE in two separate acts: with JOE'S TRUCK STOP (Joe Macheret - acoustic guitar, fiddle and vocals; Brad Myers - guitar; Nick Fryer - pedal steel; Dave Hathaway - upright bass & Daniel Peterson - drums) for the hillbilly set, and RICKY NYE INC. (Noah Wotherspoon - guitar; Eli Gonzalez - tenor & baritone sax; Matt McCoy - upright bass & Jack Mansfield - drums) for the rhythm & blues set - promising to be an exciting tribute to the legacy of KING RECORDS !____________________________________________
