Blues Legend Walter Trout Coming to The Strand Theater August 24th

0
On Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024 @ 8:00pm, blues guitar legend Walter Trout is coming to the Strand Theatre!

Walter Trout has been nothing short of prolific over the course of his seven decades on this Earth. The fabled US bluesman’s latest album, Broken, chronicles the bitter schisms of modern life but refuses to succumb to them.

Trout’s career has spanned the globe and delivered notoriety as one of the great purveyors of the blues and blues-rock. Trout’s history is equal parts thriller, romance, suspense, and horror. There are musical fireworks, critical acclaim, and fists-aloft triumph, offset by wilderness years, brushes with the jaws of narcotic oblivion, and the survival of an organ transplant few come back from.  

From 1973, when he left his New Jersey home headed to Los Angeles, he has followed a road that afforded him an opportunity to just play, sharing the stage as a sideman with Jesse Ed Davis, Big Mama Thornton, John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson, Joe Tex, and of course the great John Mayall (following a three-year tenure in Canned Heat).

When Trout walked away from the Bluesbreakers, he embarked on a solo career that has yielded a catalog that has established a deep legacy in the world of Blues, Americana, and the realm of revered singer-songwriters. While many would slow down as they approach their 70th birthday, Trout continued to deliver inspired recordings, performances, and a voice that articulates relevant ideology and insights into The World that inspires his deep perspective. 

$35/floor level, $30/balcony. Tickets are available at the Strand Box Office; cash or check only or online at Brown Paper Tickets. For more information and the ticketing link, please go to www.mystrandtheatre.org. The Strand Theatre is located at 210 Main St, Hudson Falls, NY. www.mystrandtheatre.org. 

Doors open into the lobby, coffee shop and box office at 6:30pm.

The Strand Theatre: Yesterday Once More to Pay Tribute to the Carpenters

0

Join us at the Strand Theatre on Friday, Aug. 23, 2024 @ 7:30 pm for a special evening as Yesterday Once More pays tribute to The Carpenters!

Karen and Richard Carpenter have never been portrayed more accurately than in Yesterday Once More – A Tribute to The Carpenters. This show is an amazing recreation of the group in concert, featuring Karen, Richard and their band.
No musical group was more popular than The Carpenters throughout the 1970’s. The sibling duo sold more than 90 million records worldwide and had an incredible string of mega hits throughout the decade, including Close To You, We’ve Only Just Begun, Top of The World, Rainy Days and Mondays and many more.
This outstanding performance will take your audience back to a time when The Carpenters were indeed On Top of The World.

$20/general admission. Tickets are available at the Strand Box Office; cash or check only or online at Brown Paper Tickets. For more information and the ticketing link, please go to www.mystrandtheatre.org. The Strand Theatre is located at 210 Main St, Hudson Falls, NY. www.mystrandtheatre.org.
