At the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland Saturday night, the usually hard-rocking R&B ensemble that is Ken Lyon & Tombstone plan two acoustic sets, including one of all-new material.
Here are some tunes recorded live at Chan's in Woonsocket last fall, part of an acoustic set devised to keep down the volume for the neighbors:
Mp3s: Sugarbones | Baby I Love You So
The long-playing Tombstone Blues Band, formed in 1967, owns a special niche in Rhode Island rock and roll history
I blogged a long piece about Ken Lyon and the band in April 2007, in advance of their retrospective concert at the Stadium Theater in Woonsocket.
The Unplugged show starts at 8 p.m. at 549 Broad Street, Cumberland. Tickets: www.riverfolk.org; $12 in advance, $15 on Saturday.
