‘Journeyman’ Clapton tribute show at The Kate
Young guitarist leads group
OLD SAYBROOK — Shaun Hague’s “Journeyman – A Tribute to Eric Clapton” will be performed Wednesday, April 18, at 7:30 pm. at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center.
Hague has built quite the resume in the last decade of his life. At just 17, he was named “The Best Young Blues Guitarist” by The House of Blues and by 21, the young guitarist was playing guitar for blues phenom Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His career has also seen him sharing the stage with Amos Lee, John Waite, Terra Naomi, performing on Jay Leno and sitting in with John Fogerty.
In honor of his biggest musical influence, Hague has been making waves with his “Journeyman – A Tribute to Eric Clapton.” The show features Robert Monroe (keys/vocals), Andy Taylor (drums) and Sheldon Dukes (bass). Together, they provide a powerful performance of all aspects of Clapton’s career from Bluesbreakers to From The Cradle.

The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center is a non-profit performing arts organization located in an historic theatre/town hall on Main Street in Old Saybrook. Originally opened in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Center has been renovated with public funds from the Town of Old Saybrook and donations raised by the Trustees of the Center. It includes a 250-seat theatre and a small museum honoring Katharine Hepburn, Old Saybrook’s most celebrated resident. As befits an organization born of such a public/private partnership, programming is eclectic, offering something for all ages and income levels on the Connecticut shore and in the lower river valley.
