Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Almost Acoustic Duo

Special guest: Lenny Kaye

Saturday, May 9, 2026.

Doors open: 6:30 PM, Showtime: 7:30 pm

Although Texas born Gilmore was twice named Country Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone, and California native Alvin first came to fame in the hard rocking rhythm and blues band The Blasters, they discovered that their musical roots in old blues and folk music are exactly the same.

As they hit the road in 2026, this time they will bring you the Almost Acoustic Duo. Friends for over 30 years, their lively shows feature songs from the duo’s albums, as well as classic original compositions from their individual albums, while swapping songs, telling stories, and sharing their life experiences on stage.

Lenny Kaye (of the Patti Smith Group has just been added as special guest. This is a show you won’t want to miss!
