Rich Hinman vs. Adam Levy @ The Blue Guitar Room at Arroyo Seco Golf Course
Mar 12 @ 7:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Sponsor: The Blue Guitar ClubFor more information call: 323-769-3500Or click here: deepmix.thundertix.com/Jazz-blues instrumental artists, Rich Hinman vs. Adam Levy, are a Blue Guitar favorite and a heavyweight band you will not want to miss! It consists of Rich Hinman on pedal steel and guitar, Adam Levy on guitar, Jay Bellerose on drums, and Jennifer Condos on electric bass. Rich has played on a ton of records, and toured with Sara Bareilles, k.d. lang, and the Milk Carton Kids. Adam’s wonderful guitar work can be heard on records by Nora Jones and Tracy Chapman. Jay is the go-to drummer for producers Joe Henry and T Bone Burnett. And Jen is a busy session player with an amazing touch and groove. As a collective unit, the quartet has been together a relatively short time but you’d never guess that from their deep grooves and telepathic interplay. They play soul music without words, country music without hats, and blues music without regrets.
