YOU’RE INVITED to Delta Blues Museum’s first “Crossroads Connection” event! This star-studded event will take place on Wednesday, April 9th, as part of the Museum’s annual Muddy Waters Month celebration and will pay tribute to legendary rock band, ZZ Top.
The 2P public event will be held at the Delta Blues Museum Stage, where local musicians, civic leaders and state dignitaries will help the Museum thank Mr. Gibbons and ZZ Top for their long-time support of Blues music and culture of the Mississippi Delta. Live music will be provided by the award-winning Delta Museum Student Band alongside Mr. Gibbons, who will play the famed “Muddywood” guitar that the band commissioned for the Museum in 1988 to honor Muddy Waters’ legacy. A private, ticketed event follows the performance and features an intimate panel discussion with Mr. Gibbons, led by Delta Blues Ambassador and Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite. The conversation will focus on Muddy Waters’ influence on the musicians’ lives and musical careers, with a private reception to follow in the Museum Gallery,
Tickets for the fundraiser are $150 plus processing fees (tax-deductible value is $100), and space is limited. Ticket purchases are limited to two tickets per purchaser.
