August 4
Webb Wilder and the Beatnecks
There are roots rockers, and then there's Webb Wilder. For over 20 years, Wilder has mined rock 'n' roll's most hallowed ground, but unlike many others, he has approached it all with a rare irreverence and wit. His self-effacing persona - a tongue-in-cheek 1950s noir character, equal parts high school principal, tent preacher, and private detective -gives Wilder's music a sense of fun and imagination often lacking among his peers.
No children under 12, under 21 with parent.
Hours: 8:30pm
Admission: $20 advance; $25 door
Location: Ellington Fellowship Playhouse, 421 Rivermont Avenue
