Bucks Blues Explosion Features Rick Estrin And The Nightcats

NEWTOWN, PA — In partnership with the Bucks County Blues Society, the Zlock Performing Arts Center at Bucks presents a unique evening of blues music on Friday, April 7 with award-winning harmonic master, songwriter and vocalist Rick Estin & The Nightcats.

Opening the concert for Estrin will be local Mikey Junior and his band starting at 7:30 p.m.

Named 2018’s Blues Music award-winning "Band of The Year," Rick Estrin and the Nightcats has seemingly created one of the blues’ most instantly recognizable sounds and no-holds-barred type of style.

The concert will feature the world-class talents of harmonica master, songwriter and vocalist Rick Estrin, as The Nightcats serve up sharp and incisive original blues and gritty roadhouse rock ‘n’ roll. With his wily and unforgettable original songs and his hipster, street-smart vocals, it's clear no one on the blues scene writes or sings like Estrin.

Concert-goers will note that no one looks like him either, as Estrin is always dressed to the nines, sporting his trademark pencil-line mustache and pompadour haircut.

“Blues in Bucks County is amazing and we are thrilled to bring national award-winning San Francisco Bay-area blues artist Rick Estrin and to spotlight our own local Bucks County Blues musicians Mikey Junior and Mark Margolies," said Zlock PAC’s Director Peter Chiovarou. "Partnering with the Bucks County Blues Society and bringing the community together over this great genre of music is a total honor and pleasure for us here at the Zlock Performing Arts Center."

The cost is $20 for general admission and $30 for premium reserved seats, which includes a drink ticket at the bar and a reserved seat in the front two rows in the theater.
