Rick Estrin & The Nightcats

Thursday August 20, 2015 @ 8:00 PM

Rick Estrin ranks among the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world. His work on the reeds is deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. The Associated Press calls his harp playing “endlessly impressive.” Estrin won the 1994 Blues Music Award for his composition My Next Ex-Wife and has written songs for a growing legion of other musicians. Three of his songs found their way onto Grammy-nominated albums: Don’t Put Your Hands On Me (on Koko Taylor’s Force Of Nature), I’m Just Lucky That Way (on Robert Cray’s Shame + A Sin), and Homely Girl (on John Hammond’s Trouble No More).

Rick Estrin & The Nightcats were winners of the 2013 Blues Music Award.Every night that award-winning harmonica player, singer and songwriter Rick Estrin and his cohorts The Nightcats perform live— wherever in the world that may be—a crowd of dancing, shouting, laughing and cheering people will be enjoying some of the best live music they’ve ever heard.
