RICK ESTRIN AND THE NIGHTCATS




Details:
“Estrin is an amazing blues harmonica player, soulful vocalist and a brilliant original songwriter.” –San Francisco Chroniclebands, Little Charlie & The Nightcats. His huge harp sound, streetwise vocals, razor-sharp lyrics and hipster persona were as much the focus of the band as Little Charlie Baty’s hard-swinging and unpredictable guitar. In fact, Rick was so much the central figure of the band, most newcomers assumed that he was “Charlie.” Now, with Little Charlie’s retirement from touring, Rick has truly stepped up to become “the man.”

With support from the ever-inventive and swinging Nightcats rhythm section of Lorenzo Farrell and J. Hansen, and a new young recruit—Norway’s greatest contribution to American blues, guitar wildman Kid Andersen—Rick has taken the band in a fresh direction, rocking harder and more intensely than ever, but never straying far from the blues.

PD: Kid Andersen es un fenómeno. Litle Charlie, genio, maestro y figura.
