CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: AN EVENING WITH JAMES BURTON
James Burton and his band (Jeff Burton, Jon Paris, Dave Keyes, Tony Garnier & Shawn Pelton) will perform atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday, August 9th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. The Rolling Stones' 100 Greatest Guitarists of all time, places him at #19! James Burton's trademark "chicken pickin'" style - bright, crisp and concise - is one of the most unique sounds in country music, and a huge influence on rock guitar as well. Burton got his start when he was 14, writing "Susie Q," for Dale Hawkins, and became a teenage star when he joined Ricky Nelson's band in 1957. With Nelson, Burton created his distinct technique: He used a fingerpick and a flatpick, and replaced the four highest strings on his Telecaster with banjo strings, so that his guitar snapped, popped and stuttered. In the late Sixties and Seventies, he convened Elvis' TCB band and became a go-to guy on country-minded records by Joni Mitchell and Gram Parsons, and still tours today. There is a $37.50 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
