Blues Brunch: 3 Kings! BB, Albert, Freddie
with Sam Hooper Group
Why you should see this show…
“The blues has been one of the most influential genres in modern music, leaving its mark on rock, jazz, soul, and even pop. Among the most influential figures in this genre are three guitarists often referred to as the “Three Kings of the Blues”: B.B. King, Albert King, and Freddie King. These legendary musicians each brought their own unique style and perspective to blues guitar playing, helping to shape the sound of the blues in the 20th century and beyond. Their playing styles, choice of instruments, and iconic recordings have left an indelible mark on the music world, inspiring countless generations of musicians.” -American Guitar Academy 2024
