A vast collection of Lexington musicians recreate The Band's The Last Waltz this Saturday, December 5 at Buster's. 8 p.m.; $10.
Recreating The Band's legendary last concert (captured by Martin Scorcese in the concert film The Last Waltz) has been an annual tradition for Lexington musicians for a number of years. The event has taken place at The Dame in the past (both locations, I do believe) and now Buster's has rightfully taken the reins. Good thing, too, because in the past, the event has tended to sell out and people have been turned away. Buster's will provide much more room to dance and belt out "The Weight" at the top of your lungs without having to scream in someone's ear (note: Blueline does not endorse loudly singing along with the band at shows).
The event is spearheaded by Tula, a Lexingtno band who doesn't play out all that often but always nails this show each year. They'll be joined by a massive all-star list of guests, including Robbie Cosenza (These United States, The Scourge of the Sea); Corey Wilson (Coralee and the Townies); Nick Stump (Metropolitan Blues All-Stars); Gabe Hensley (The Other Brothers); March Madness Marching Band and others!
Tickets are $10. If you wanna win a pair, e-mail kyblueline@gmail.com and tell me your favorite song by The Band. I'll draw a winner Friday morning so be sure to check your e-mail Friday after 10 a.m. or leave your phone number so I can contact you if you've won.
