Piedmont Blues legend, LIGHTNIN’ WELLS! All he wants for his birthday is for YOU to come to his concert & celebrate with him! On April 19 The ‘Boro Sessions will bring you, “A Sunday Afternoon Concert with Lightnin’ Wells” 2:00-4:00pm (doors 1:00pm) at The Flat Iron (221 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC). This is a seated, listening room concert. The Flat Iron sells beer, wine, and spirits. Advanced tickets $20 + taxes and processing fees / Day of show tickets $25 + taxes and processing fees.

Mike “Lightnin'” Wells breathes new life into the vintage tunes of the 1920s and depression era America employing guitars, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin and banjo in a dynamic style, developed in over 50 years of studying and performing blues and traditional folk music. With his experience, knowledge and well-honed performance skills, Lightnin’ Wells has established himself at the forefront of the traditional blues revival. His musical style is personal and energetic yet remains true to the original root form. Lightnin’s performances are always delightful! Noted musician and radio personality Paul Brown described Lightnin’ Wells’ as “an enigma and a wonder. When you hear him, you hear the old Piedmont blues players speaking through him… More than anything, you hear something that’s sincere and real, in a way that precious little music performance is nowadays. There’s no varnish here, just the unvarnished truth expressed through a deep and good-humored soul.”
“Whether you look to performers for inspiration, education, virtuosity, or sheer entertainment, Lightnin’ Wells delivers all of the above, every single time.” — Cliff Nelson, writer
