ADMISSION: $37.50 Full Price / $28.50 IMAC Members

On Friday, October 27th, 2006 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with legendary slide-guitarist Sonny Landreth. The evening will also feature special guest opener Long Island’s own The Kerry Kearney Band.

Legendary slide-guitarist Sonny Landreth has been working steadily for decades, amassing a devoted following among his fans and peers. Eric Clapton said he is “probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced.” Indeed, as Landreth’s way of playing is unmistakably his own- his method combines the bottleneck slide, palm and finger-picking techniques that produce a sound that is often said to resemble many instruments playing at once.

The Kerry Kearney Band, featuring their slide-guitar frontman Kerry Kearney, is a native Long Island band that plays an exciting, unique style of Blues-root music with a completely original sound.  The band has toured both nationally and internationally, opening for the Allman Brothers, Dickey Betts and Mountain.  The band has played many music festivals including, being the headline band for four of the seven annual Riverhead Blues Festivals in New York, 2006 June Jam in Delaware, Bucks Country Blues Festival in Pennsylvania, 2005 and 2006 Mayfair Arts and Music Festival in Pennsylvania and The Guinness 2006 Blues Festival in Castlebar, Ireland.
