rocker Gregg Allman made a surprise appearance at a concert I attended Saturday night at The State Theatre in Kalamazoo, MI. He took the stage on the third song with the sparse crowd cheering his instantly recognizable looks and voice singing two Allman Brothers songs and an original composition.
Michael performed with Marble Garden a warm up band for the headliner Tinsley Ellis. Tinsley is a well known blues guitar player from Atlanta, GA who fingers some hot licks on his old solid body guitar. He is well known in the southern blues circuit and even plays an occasional gig at our local blues bar in Angola, Skips Party Place.
It is always nice to see live performances and a special guest makes it even more fun. Of course going to Kzoo and The State is a treat, the old theatre is very art deco with a high rotunda, classic statuary and intricate painting and molding. With the stadium seating we were able to sit front row balcony and walk down to the dance floor to see Tinsley's last few songs.
