Lil'Buck, Roddie Romero, & Eric Adcock tonight at the Blue Moon
Lil’Buck Sinegal, the gentle giant of the guitar, plays the Blue Moon Saloon tonight along with Roddie Romero, Eric Adcock, and friends. Sinegal is credited as a sideman on over three hundred records made over the past forty years. In addition, he’s played thousands of shows in countries around the world. Grammy-nominated and critically acclaimed mult-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Roddie Romero is also on the bill with his right hand man Eric Adcock and crew. These guys are all heavy weights in the roots and Cajun music scene, having logged some serious frequent flyer miles of their own in the past decade. Anyone restless to get out of the house in pre-Christmas, party-down kind of fashion might want to make their way over to the Blue Moon Saloon tonight, Dec. 23 for a killer show.
