Earlier today I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes
chatting with Peter Frampton. Yes, the artist that released an album of live
music in 1976 that remains, after more than 40 years, one of the best selling
LIVE albums of all time. Admittedly I didn’t know what to expect from an artist
that has shared the stage, and the studio, with some of the other big names of
our generation; George Harrison, Ringo Starr, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, B.B.
King and even Jerry Lee Lewis. But what I found was a gentleman. The kind of
guy you would hope to have a chance to meet in a quiet pub and have a sip or
two with. When you found out who he was (if somehow you didn’t recognize him
right away) you would hope he would pull out his acoustic guitar & play a
song or two for you from his amazing body of work. Well, that is just about
what he plans to do at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland on April 12th.
He is touring with his son Julian along with his best friend & fellow
musician Gordon Kennedy. Together they bring that intimate meeting I described a
moment ago to the Paramount for a more than two hour show. Plan on an evening
of great music, stripped down to its acoustic form from two of the best
guitarists of our time. I’m looking forward to it. So should you. Get your
tickets at the Paramount Box Office or direct from paramountvt.org
