Blair Crimmins & The Hookers

The Strand Theatre

Fri 8pm

Crimmins and his Hookers may be based in Cabbagetown, Atlanta but their music pulls on the addictive styles of New Orleans jazz.

The band has eclectic orchestrations featuring any combination of saxophones, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, accordion, banjo, drum kit and auxiliary percussion. Jeffrey Butzer opens with his piano-driven songs that connect French folk tunes with Danny Elfman compositions. 

 All ages. Tickets are $12 and are on sale now. For more information call The Strand at 770-293-0080 or visit www.earlsmithstrand.org
