Description

Friday, April 24 8:00 PM Reserved Seating: $43-$53 ON SALE: Friday, October 25 at 10:00 AM Rolling Stone calls him the "Godfather of Americana Music," and rightfully so. Delbert's musical style grew from his Texas roots. A little Tejano. A little Bob Wills. Throw in some Jimmy Reed harmonica. Add a splash of Big Joe Turner, and a big band horn section. He has also been nominated for Grammys in the Country category, and has been featured in media from the Los Angeles Times to the Washington Post. He has developed a sound that continues to serve him well, as evidenced by the three Grammy Awards for Contemporary Blues on his mantel. Tall, Dark, & Handsome (Thirty Tigers/Hot Shot Records), the follow-up to Delbert's 2016 Prick of the Litter, offers the easy balance of experience and adventure that has characterized his career for more than sixty years. With this, his 26th original album, Delbert celebrates the strength of his songwriting expertise, the energy of his live performances, and the drive of his touring band. His career truly defines Americana music: Delbert's unique story of American history - with big horns, a strong rhythm section and a hot harmonica lead. To borrow from one of the songs on Tall, Dark & Handsome, whether he's doing a live show or a recording, you can be assured that Delbert McClinton "don't leave no chicken on the bone."
