LAKEPORT, Calif. – Blues legends from two states come together in the Golden State Lone Star Revue playing at the Soper Reese Theatre on Friday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m.

Reserved seating tickets are $25 and $20. Dance floor will be open. The concert is a benefit for Valley Fire Relief.

The event is sponsored by Lincoln Leavitt Insurance and Strong Financial Network.

Chief among the Revue players is lead guitarist Little Charlie Baty, former leader of Oakland’s “Little Charlie & the Nightcats.” Guitar World magazine puts him in the same class as Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy for his fast and fluent style, and remarkable solos. Baty has recorded 12 albums and toured the globe for over 25 years.

On the harmonica is Grammy nominee, Mark Hummel, a West Coast blues scene regular. He recently won best album of the year at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis.

New Yorker magazine says he’s “a seasoned showman who knows more than a thing or two about how to please an audience.”

Also starring is guitarist Anson Funderburgh, a native Texan who has played with Delbert McClinton, Boz Scaggs, Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ronnie Earl.

He has won several W.C. Handy awards and is known for his classic Stratocaster tone as defined by Otis Rush in the 1950s.
