Dave Davies

Tuesday, October, 27, 2015 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

$50

Best known for songs “You Really Got Me” “Lola”, “Death of a Clown”, “Come Dancing”, “Tired of Waiting for You” and “All day and All of the Night” – Founder of The Kinks Dave Davies forever changed music after he sliced up the speaker cone of a little green amp and created a revolutionary, distorted guitar tone and frenetic solo on song “You Really Got Me”. Musicologist Joe Harrington described the Kinks’ influence as predecessors of the whole three-chord genre … the Kinks did a lot to help turn rock ‘n’ roll into rock.” In 1998, writer Bill Crowley wrote,”As lead guitarist and founder of The Kinks, Dave Davies is one of the most unpredictable and original forces in rock, without whom guitar-rock styles including heavy metal and punk would have been inconceivable. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dave’s massive guitar sounds have inspired bands from Van Halen to Green Day.” Don’t miss a great night of rock with Dave Davies – and a full band!
