November 14, 2014 at Central Library

Hamilton music lovers were treated to an intimate acoustic concert in-the-round by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings.  Blackie and the Rodeo Kings is a Canadian folk rock/alternative country group comprised of musicians Stephen Fearing, Colin Linden and Hamilton’s own Tom Wilson. The concert was presented in the classic tradition of “in-the-round”, modelled after a recent show by the band at the legendary Blue Bird Café in Nashville, Tennessee.
