LAKEPORT, Calif. – KPFZ radio 88.1 FM is presenting venerated slide guitar master Roy Rogers and The Delta Rhythm Kings in a rare Lakeport concert appearance on Friday, Sept. 9, at The Soper-Reese Community Theatre.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. with local favorites Without A Net opening for Rogers.

Rogers' recording and performance resume reads like a record label catalog.

The list includes Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Miller, Allen Toussaint, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott.

In a professional career spanning four decades, Rogers is the consummate musician and producer.

He has produced two Grammy nominated albums for Elliott. For four years he toured with the legendary John Lee Hooker and produced four Grammy nominated albums for the Boogie King, two of which were awarded the top accolade from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Roy Rogers’ movie soundtrack contributions include “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Hot Spot.”

This year Rogers has two CD releases, “Translucent Blues” with Doors co-founder Ray Manzarek and “Slidewinder” featuring duets with Allen Toussaint and John Lee Hooker.

Tickets for this concert, a benefit for Lake County Community Radio, are $25 and are available at the Soper Reese box office, 707-263-0577 or www.SoperReeseTheatre.com; and at Catfish Coffee House, 14624 Lakeshore Drive, Clearlake, 707-995-0470.
