Having made a living playing blues since 1926, and widely regarded as one of, if not the, best blues pianists ever, Pinetop Perkins is one of the last of the great Mississippi bluesmen. He created a style of playing that influenced three generations of piano players and continues to be the yardstick by which all great blues pianists are measured. Pinetop turned 92 this year (or is it 93?). Don't miss this rare opportunity to see one of the true legends of blues.

With fellow Muddy Waters bandmate Bob Margolin and special friends Mookie Brill and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith.
