This artist has been challenging musical genre definitions since his 1970 debut, blurring the lines between blues, soul, funk, roots rock, folk and bluegrass in tell-it-like-it-is performances that steal the show. A Portsmouth native, Swamp Dogg has inspired artists for generations with this “salty, earthy, Southern-soul storytelling” (The New York Times) and innovative style. He’s still got what it takes to rock the house—grab your tickets for this iconic performer!
The deep-roots tag team of Cajun slide guitar phenom Sonny Landreth and legendary New Orleans Latin-Americana rockers The Iguanas present a mind-blowing musical trip through the scenic soundscape of the bayou.
