July 17: Best Dance in Town: Rockabilly
Ponderosa Stomp @ Lincoln Center (on loan from New Orleans)
Featuring The Collins Kids, Carl Mann, and Joe Clay, with Deke Dickerson and the Eccofonics
This array of rockabilly Hall-of-Famers includes The Collins Kids, comprised of the double neck guitar whiz Larry and his sister Lorrie; legendary Sun Records singer Carl Mann; and a rare New York appearance by Cajun stomp rocker Joe Clay, all playing with the house band Deke Dickerson and the Eccofonics.
Ponderosa Stomp, a New Orleans musical tradition, highlights the world’s most authentic musicians of rockabilly, R&B, jazz, blues, garage, soul, funk, and swamp pop. This annual festival has become a must-see event, a showcase for living history and thriving art, reviving careers, and praising the unsung heroes who planted the very roots of American music.
Ponderosa Stomp @ Lincoln Center is a collaboration of Midsummer Night Swing and Lincoln Center Festival in association with Ponderosa Stomp Foundation. Purchase tickets to all three Ponderosa Stomp @ Lincoln Center events (July 16, 17, and 19) for $50!
