Apr 20, 2012Randy Sabien & the Fiddlehead Band - Website
Flambeau Valley Arts Event - In the early 1930's, the now legendary Bob Wills created what he called a "Texas fiddle band." It featured him and others on fiddles in addition to just about any other instrument. Sabien, a jazz violinist, has tapped into that tradition by including three fiddles in his Fiddlehead Band, featuring drums, bass, guitar, and keyboard rhythm section. With the advantage of 80 years of musical history to draw upon, Sabien describes his sound as "Bob Wills meets Art Blakey (be-bop) meets the Allman Brothers (blues rock)." 7:30 p.m. LHS Auditorium, $15/Adult, $3/student.
