Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys/Johnny Fay & the Blazers
When: Mon., Sept. 9, 8:30 p.m. 2013
Since he started performing with his backing band The Fly-Rite Boys some 25 years ago, singer-guitarist Big Sandy has continually attracted new young fans and introduced them to Western swing and rockabilly. Recently, Sandy, who's currently in the midst of a 25th anniversary tour, has released an album of old tunes that he's rearranged into acoustic instrumentals. His music, which recalls the type of music that was popular decades ago, has an easy-going vibe to it that appeals to fans of traditional country and rockabilly alike. He's been playing Cleveland for years and always puts on a good show. (Niesel)
