Local legend Ken Lyon is known as the "godfather of Rhode Island blues." Tonight will be the setting for a special "unplugged" performance by Tombstone featuring original Tombstone members Mark Taber and Brenda Mosher Bennett joined by drummer D.C. Culp, bassist Justin Lyon, guitarists Rick Bellaire and Josh Lyon and singers Lori Lacaille Martin and Adrian West.
Lyon's musical history is legendary. Through over 44 years of performance, Lyon has recorded 11 singles and 8 albums. Authentic blues requires real authority and life experience and Ken has earned that reputation. Scott Freeman, senior editor at Atlanta Monthly Magazine and author of "Midnight Riders: The Story of The Allman Brothers Band," wrote that Ken Lyon "possesses Rhode Island's most authentic blues voice - whiskey-tinged, and as rich as the black Mississippi mud."
