An Evening With Lester Chambers
And The Mudstumpers
September 22nd
Doors at 4:30pm
Show at 5pm
Featuring:
Terry Haggerty, David Aguilar, and Tim Haggerty
With your Host Barry (The Fish) Melton
At a recent rehearsal of Lester Chambers and his finely tuned Mudstumpers, they were aimin’ for your front porch. Lester and crew want you to be comfortable as they dissect and recreate much of the songbook of the eternal Bluesman, Jimmy Reed. Lester recently released Volume I of his tribute to Mathis James Reed. He used extraordinary guitarists David Aguilar and Terry Haggerty to interpret the first and second guitar parts originally recorded by Jimmy Reed and Eddie Taylor for Vee Jay Records from 1953 forward.
That said, esteemed North Bay Elder Rockers Lester Chambers & The Mudstumpers, featuring Terry Haggerty, David Aguilar, and Tim Haggerty are firing up the Sebastiani Theatre
on September 22, 2024. Barry (The Fish) Melton will host. (The date has been rescheduled from August 24 at 5 P.M. Doors @ 4:30 P.M. due to the passing of Lester’s younger brother Joseph.)
“Jimmy Reed brought Rhythm & Blues music to the world. It happened so long ago that everybody thinks that they did it,” pipes Lester on the first track of A Tribute To Jimmy Reed – Volume I. Volume II is slated for a Fall 2024 release
By cosmic chance, when Lester was 14, he bumped into Jimmy Reed, an experience that has profoundly influenced his musicianship.
There will be a merch table including tee shirts, CDs, and other hippie ephemera, including Lester’s critically acclaimed memoir, Time Has Come: Revelations of a Mississippi Hippie.
There will not be an intermission. The Sebastiani Theatre is located at 476 1st Street East, Sonoma, CA 95476. Tickets are available on the Sebastiani website, www.sebastianitheatre.com. For more info, please call the theatre office at 707.996.9756.
