This concert will feature a special guest appearance by original drummer for Jon Butcher Axis and Johanna Wild, Derek Blevins.
The year was 1981 and The Jon Butcher Axis (Jon Butcher, Chris Martin & Derek Blevins) had taken the Boston music scene by storm. WBCN was playing their songs while the band performed to sold out audiences at iconic venues such as The Channel, The Paradise and others. Their big break came when the week after Christmas, they got the nod to open for the mighty J. Geils band on a short run of dates throughout the Northeast. A month later the Geils Band called again, this time with an invite to do the North American leg of the Freeze Frame tour, highlighted by three sold out Boston Garden shows (all while the band had no record deal and no booking agent).
Join us on June 29 for a very special look at those years in the Boston club scene as JBA is joined, for the first time in decades, by original drummer Derek Blevins, playing the songs everyone was dancing to in The Channel, Bunrattys....and Boston Garden!
Opening Artist: Hirsh Gardner
