BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA at the KENTUCKY THEATRE
Tuesday Dec 3, 2024 7:30PM Kentucky Theatre, Lexington, KY
Highbridge Spring Water presents multi-Grammy Award winning legends of America music BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA for a special event Holiday and Christmas concert Tuesday December 3 at the historic Kentucky Theatre.
More than a musical institution, Blind Boys of Alabama are a cultural force that has influenced a wide array of artists like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Ben Harper. With six GRAMMY Awards (including one for lifetime achievement) and a repertoire of soaring anthems, the group remains an iconic standard bearer that has also crossed over to embrace secular songs. BLIND BOYS come to Lexington for a full concert of holiday songs following their three appearances on WoodSongs.
Formed by a group of elementary students at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in the late 1930s who sang for pocket change, the quintet made a series of fine recordings in the post-war years that assured their place in the gospel pantheon, and they were an indispensable part of the soundtrack to the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.
BILLY GIBBONS of ZZ TOP at the KENTUCKY THEATRE
Thursday Feb 6, 2024 7:30PM Kentucky Theatre, Lexington, KY
Highbridge Spring Water and the volunteers of the Troubadour Concert Series are very excited to present ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons in concert at the historic Kentucky Theatre Thursday February 6. Gibbons is unquestionably one of the most powerful blues-rock guitarists to ever emerge from Texas along with the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Gibbons grew up in a home that favored both classical and country sounds, but upon discovering Elvis Presley on The Ed Sullivan Show, Gibbons became transfixed by rock & roll. With the release of 1983’s Eliminator, the new approach came together for ZZ Top, Gibbons and Hill happened to come across a gimmick that will be forever associated with the group: long and stringy beards that grew down to their chests. The group was responsible for some of MTV’s most popular video clips of all time “Give Me All Your Loving,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs.”
