TDawg is excited to present the legendary Col. Bruce Hampton in the intimate confines of the Red Light Cafe!  I caught him there last month right before the Holiday Hootenanny, and it was truly just what the DR ordered!

Col. Bruce will be joined on stage by another incredible ensemble of musicians, including the absolutely mesmerizing Johnny Knapp on keys, whose career spans performing with Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, and countless others.  Johnny tore it up at the Holiday Hootenanny, leaving folks in their tracks with a dazed look on their face.  His performance with Bruce wasn’t jazz, wasn’t Bruce, WAS pure Zambi!

We are extremely honored to have him grace the stage at the 3rd Annual Atlanta’s Holiday Hootenanny during the sequence led by Col. Bruce Hampton, Ret. on Sunday, December 22, at Terminal West in King Plow Arts Center.  The video above is from earlier this year at Music On Main Street.  Y’all, this show is truly going to be off the charts.  You are going to want to be there to witness the journey!  Get yourself a ticket NOW to ensure your presence THEN!  You’ll be donating to a great cause and receiving the gift of one of the finest performances of the year.
