The Legendary B.B. KING Returns to Stamford’s Palace Theatre
His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. In his late seventies, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has had no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished and more relevant than ever. Don't look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of television commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world can't get enough of him. This ever-popular performer returns to Stamford’s Palace Theatre for one performance ONLY on Wednesday, January 11 (2006) at 8pm. More
