Opelika Observer
Enjoy an evening with Alvin Youngblood Hart at Waverly’s Standard Deluxe on Nov. 22. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the venue’s “Little House.”
Known as a “musician’s musician,” Hart’s praises have been sung by everyone from Bob Dylan to guitar gods Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor. He was born in Oakland, California in 1963 to a family of post-WWII Mississippi transplants. He started playing the guitar in 1977.
In addition to his vast musical repertoire, Hart is also an electronics technician, a talent he picked up after seven years of active-duty service in the U.S. Coast Guard. His knack for quick thinking repairs on the road has earned him nicknames such as “The Garage Guerrilla” or “The Rock N Roll MacGyver” from fellow musicians.
After two decades on the road, Hart continues to delight audiences worldwide, whether as a solo performer or with his well-loved band Alvin Youngblood Hart’s Muscle Theory.
The show is a bring-your-own-beer event. However, no glass is allowed in the venue.
Tickets are $22 and must be purchased online at www.standarddeluxe.com. No physical tickets will be mailed, so guests must select “Will Call” in the shipping information at checkout.
