Event information

Inside at 1030 Main St. | Food & Drinks Available On the title track of his new album, Cant Even Do Wrong Right, legendary blues guitarist, songwriter and singer ELVIN BISHOP spins a tale of a not-too-smart criminal getting caught by his own foolish missteps. The shaggy dog story, fueled by Bishops down-home delivery and deep blues slide guitar, is an affirmation of the Chicago Sun-Times ebullient praise: Its impossible not to like Bishop. Hes always singing something lowbrow and uplifting. With his buoyant and deceptively loose-sounding ensemble behind him, hes also playing some of the most spirited and distinctive blues slide guitar today.Bishop will bring his outstanding guitar work and verbal high jinks with Bob Welsh pounding the piano keys and Willy Jordan on cajon (Peruvian drum box). Their crowd-pleasing music and undeniable chemistry will make it a night to remember.BLUE NOTE NAPA is on the 1st floor of the historic Napa Valley Opera House and is an intimate 180-seated live music club and restaurant.
