George Gritzbach Band Plays Original Blues

Fri, Aug 29, 730pm. The George Gritzbach Band plays inventive takes on classics and a healthy helping of innovative originals, offering a great mix of blues, roots, and R&B, but tonight, they bring you original blues. The band has appeared at a wide variety of venues and Festivals across North America, including opening for B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, and many others as well as local nightclubs and Performing Arts Centers. They also have the versatility to play unplugged acoustic sets for a more intimate experience. The band, led by George, a serious blues devotee who caused a sensation when he first debuted on the New England blues scene, is now backed by a seasoned rhythm section featuring Scott Lariviere on bass and backing vocals, Johnny Menezes on keyboards and Christian McCarthy on drums, percussion, and backing vocals. Rounding out the group is Peter Murray, laying it down on the sax. $20 Members, $25 Not-Yet-Members. For tickets visit www.cultural-center.org or call 508-394-7100.
