Pinetop Perkins Coming to South Bend

GREAT NEWS! The Legendary Pinetop Perkins is coming to town.

March 10 at the Club Fever in downtown South Bend. We are thrilled and were first to get our tickets.

Pinetop is 96 years old and a former Hoosier from LaPorte. He will be joined on stage with a local friend of his and great guitar blues man Little Frank , drummer Willie “Big Eye” Smith from the Muddy Waters Blues Band and Pinetop's longtime friend Bob Stroger.

Pinetop joined the Muddy Waters band in 1969 replacing Otis Spahn

Pinetop Perkins is one of the last great Mississippi bluesmen still performing.

He was originally born in Belzoni, Missisippi July 7, 1913. He’s played with almost everybody, lives in Austin, Texas now and was inducted into the Blues Hall Of Fame

This is a once in a lifetime treat to have Pinetop back in our area!!!

YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS SHOW!!
