Guitar festival
Anyone know anything about a guitar festival in Dallas on 4th of July weekend?
ETA further details from IM conversation:
ex-: I'm gonna be in Dallas July 4th weekend
me: cool.
me: Dallas is about 300 miles away, though.
ex-: I'm going to Clapton's Festival
ex-: what's that?
me: Eric Clapton is organizing a Guitar Festival in Dallas for July 4-6 with Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Brian May, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Vaughan and others.
me: sounds cool.
ex-: I just read about it and am scouting tickets
me: ah..
ex-: Found it...just got tix for all three days...
ex-: Crossroads Guitar Festival
ex:
me: who all is playing?
ex-: Eric Clapton and Doyle Bramhall II,J.J. Cale, Larry Carlton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, David Hidalgo, Eric Johnson, B.B. King, Sonny Landreth, Brian May, Robert Randolph, Otis Rush, Carlos Santana, Hubert Sumlin, Dan Tyminski, Steve Vai, Jimmie Vaughan and Joe Walsh. The extraordinary "house bands" will be none other than Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Vaughn's band and Eric Clapton's band. Other artists will be announced as details are confirmed.
me: hmmm.
ex-: It's gonna be awesome!
ETA again
ex-: Ticketmaster has the tickets on sale for $15 a day plus charges. Came to $19 a ticket
ETA one last time that the date according to Ticketmaster is June 4-6, not July. Here's hoping my ex- didn't buy plane tix.
