“A legendary guitarist whose playing is impeccable and spirited…
a distinguished American player.”
~ Rolling Stone
Ever since Rock & Roll and Blues Hall Of Famer Elvin Bishop first hit the scene with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band back in 1965, he’s blazed his own musical trail. Whether he was playing raw, eye-popping blues, or penning the evergreen radio hit Fooled Around And Fell In Love, or touring the world for decades delivering his original, good-time countrified blues, Bishop has always inspired his fans with his rowdy guitar playing and witty, slice-of-life songs.
MEMBER OF THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME & BLUES HALL OF FAME
ELVIN BISHOP MEETS LOS LOBOS! "On Memorial Day, just a couple of months ago, Elvin Bishop came to a Los Lobos gig, they met for the first time, and he sat in and performed his song “What the Hell is Going On.” It struck a nerve with all who were there and a month later Elvin was in an East LA studio recording that song with the band. ELVIN, an original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band is in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame AND Blues Hall of Fame. His solo career started in 1968 and he still travels internationally to play his music. LOS LOBOS is a preeminent Americana band that has just celebrated their 50th anniversary. These high school friends of Mexican-American heritage have been nominated for 12 Grammy® Awards, winning FOUR of them. The combination of these artists is unique in itself and displays a unity we should all be seeking." ~ Bob Brown !YOU NEED TO VOTE!
