November 28 @ 7:00 pm – 11:30 pm
Leon Hendrix hosts a night of music and stories honoring his brother Jimi Hendrix in celebration of his 84th birthday.
The Hendrix brothers Jimi & Leon grew up in Seattle, WA during the 50’s rise of Rock n Roll and through the tumultous 60’s Vietnam War era. Through the climate of new Rock and a yearning for Peace & Love, Jimi Hendrix rose as a major voice of the counter culture movement laced with searing psychadelic blues rock guitar and visionary poetic messages and artistry. In this current climate of worldwide strife & tension, Leon Hendrix aims to bring a new era of protest Rock music, carrying the torch his brother lit in the past. His new single “Save Democracy” just released on October 30th and will get its live debut at this show. The Leon Hendrix Music Militia will play a set of originals, along with Leons guitar slinger of choice, Josh Bassett doing a set of Bassett originals and the finale will be a 10 song set of choice Jimi Hendrix songs. In between sets, OG LA hip hop artist & producer Longevity (who shares Jimi’s Nov 27th Birthday) will spin choice records from his stacks of soul/r&b/psych rock/blues. Come out and celebrate Jimi’s birthday with his brother Leon and groove to a night of wailing psych rock with shades of protest.
