BLUES AND BOOZE
Groove in the Glades launches with guitarist Jonny Lang.
Guitarist Jonny Lang, Robert Randolph and the Family Band and popular South Florida bluesman Albert Castiglia will be headliners for the inaugural Blues and Booze-Groove in the Glades music festival Oct. 6 at Miccosukee Resort & Gaming in Miami.
Tickets for the festival go on sale today. For information on the event, which will include a wide array of craft beers and trendy cocktails, visit Facebook.com/MiccosukeeResortMiami.
The Miccosukee Resort performance is an addition to Lang’s 2018 tour in support of the album “Signs,” a release that marks a return to his classic blues sound. Hard to believe, but last fall’s release of “Signs” came two decades after a 15-year-old Lang first drew comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan with his platinum-selling debut, “Lie to Me.”
Sacred-steel guitar virtuoso Randolph and band are currently on a global tour sharing music from their latest album, “Got Soul,” nominated for a best contemporary blues album Grammy Award.
Wilton Manors resident Castiglia is in the middle of a national tour supporting his album “Up All Night” (Ruf Records).
Miccosukee Resort & Gaming is at 500 SW 177th Ave., in Miami. For information, call 305-222-4600 or visit Miccosukee.com.
