The stringed sounds of Louisiana roots music are coming to the Firehouse Arts Center stage next weekend.
Acclaimed fiddle player Tom Rigney and his band Flambeau are performing in Pleasanton on April 3 as the downtown venue expands its live, in-person entertainment offerings amid eased pandemic restrictions.
“Flambeau showcases Rigney’s fiery, virtuoso fiddling, his charismatic stage presence, and his range and originality as a composer,” Firehouse officials said. “He and Flambeau have forged a unique sound that blends American Roots styles into something original — mixing irresistible grooves with deep musicality and spectacular soloing.”
“(They) specialize in blazing Cajun two-steps, low-down Blues, funky New Orleans grooves, Boogie Woogie piano, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes,” officials added. “Much of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they mix in a few classics from the Cajun/New Orleans songbook. Audiences may also pick up a trace of Rigney’s Irish roots.”
The concert is scheduled for 2 p.m. next Sunday (April 3). Tickets remain on sale; visit www.firehousearts.org.
