CRITIC’S PICK: It’s billed as a “stripped down” show, so this won’t be blues pianist Wainwright along with his fabulous Train band. But that shouldn’t matter since seeing him pound the 88s in any format is a treat, and without a full group behind him (we’re not sure who the “friends” are), he’ll be able to pick and choose songs on the fly for this more intimate performance.— Hal Horowitz
$35.88. 7:30 p.m. The Hunt House, 1127 White Cr.NW, Marietta, 30060. 770-396-5361. hunthousemarietta.com
From the venue:
Join us for this exclusive and more acquainted show, stripped down with special arrangements.
“Wainwright serves as an electrifying guide to a good time-spinning tales, telling his listeners how to beat the blues, and meticulously conjuring raw soul and energy out of his acoustic piano. He displays a sharp sense of humor and a knack for storytelling... every track is brilliant.” -Living Blues Magazine
“Victor Wainwright is a world champion piano player, two times over! Not only is Victor one of the greatest blues piano players in the business, he’s also a world class entertainer and vocalist.” - Blues Revue Magazine
“Victor Wainwright, winner of this year’s Pine Top Perkins Piano Player Award at the BMA’s, is a force to be reckoned with on a piano. He IS honky-tonk and boogie, with a dose of rolling thunder. Wainwright’s playing is simply beautiful madness.” -American Blues Scene
“Savannah, GA native Victor Wainwright is all about boogie woogie piano, deep soul, and a voice that recalls Dr. John at his best. He is a blues star, a tremendous player.” -Chicago Blues Guide
