PAT WICTOR and BILL NEILON
Oh boy! What a way to get your acoustic blues fix! Two absolutely stellar performers showing up at the Hard Luck on the same night: Pat has been making a big big BIG splash on the circuit, and Bill was the guy to go see back in the day. Bill is out of retirement now, and is probably the best rack-style harmonica player around, no kidding. And, trust me, the way that he’s going, you won’t be able to catch Pat in a venue this intimate for much longer.
The concert will be held at the usual FMSH spot, the Congregational Church of Huntington, 30 Washington Dr, Centerport (wheelchair accessible). $8 at the door. Call (631)661-1278 for info, or go to www.fmshny.org
