Direct from Louisiana, 101% pure Swamp Pop with TOMMY McLAIN featuring C.C. ADCOCK.
TOMMY McLAIN is an American Music legend, a Louisiana Music Hall of Famer, and someone who, in his early 70s, found a new international audience as a member of Louisiana supergroup Lil' Band O Gold. Now in his early 80s but sounding as sprightly as he did in his 20s, McLain is coming off the back of an acclaimed solo album - his first in 40 years. “I Ran Down Every Dream” features a duet with Elvis Costello and contributions from Nick Lowe, Ivan Neville, Van Dyke Parks, Tex-Mex legend Augie Myers, Cajun hero Steve Riley and many more.
Tommy McLain will be accompanied on his tour by the producer of I Ran Down Every Dream, guitarist C.C. ADCOCK. While 30 years Tommy's junior, Adcock is the man put together and led the band Lil Band O Gold, helping McLain and other local legends, including the late great Warren Storm, to all enjoy a late career revival. A Louisiana music great and occasional young gun Swamp Pop solo artist in his own right, Adcock is a man about who Brian Wise of Rhythms magazine and 3RRR has said, "I have always thought that C. C. is the reincarnation of Elvis Presley but that he just has not met his Colonel Tom Parker yet.'' Get swampy this May with Tommy and C.C.
with special guests Opelousas (featuring Kerri Simpson, Alison Ferrier and Anthony Shortte) and DJ Mohair Slim
