Slow Hands/Hex Highway Blues Band to Perform Saturday at LH Jams Fest, Part of 2020 Concert Series
LOCK HAVEN – Partnering with the LH Jams Fest, the 2020 City Concert Series is excited to introduce Slow Hands, an Eric Clapton tribute band, to this year’s line-up. They will be performing this Saturday, Aug. at 5:30 p.m. on the Main Street Stage.
In March 2018, the Ramblin Dawgs, an original blues rock band out of New Jersey, added two members and created Slow Hands, The Music of Eric Clapton. The goal was to create a band that captures the energy and passion of the music of Eric Clapton played live. That goal was reached and the band is firing on all 12 cylinders. Performing Clapton songs from Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos and his entire Solo Career, the band plays several different sets varying from a one set 2 and 1/2 hour concert to three or four 45 minute sets played over the course of an evening. They have been known to perform any album from beginning to end as part of a show, for example 461 Ocean Boulevard, Layla and Assorted Love Songs, Journeyman or From the Cradle. In any format, for any venue, public or private, the Band sounds amazing and captures the exciting improvisational style of live performance Clapton has made famous throughout his career. Don’t miss out on the chance to catch this band at the Jams Fest this Saturday.
The LH Jams Fest will lead off the Saturday entertainment at 3 p.m. at the Main/Grove Streets venue with Hex Highway Blues Band.
While the committee is excited to offer these free concerts this summer, residents should remain vigilant to the threat of COVID-19 which has claimed the lives of more than 160,000 Americans and more than 7,000 Pennsylvanians including five in Clinton County. In order to successfully continue the summer concert series, residents and guests are to follow CDC and DOH guidelines in order to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 including social distancing between non-household members while attending the concert, wearing masks, and sanitizing hands frequently. To that end, the city will provide hand-washing stations at each of the summer concerts. Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or is included in a higher risk population are encouraged to keep their health and the health of their fellow residents as their primary interest and not attend.
