It's hard to believe that it's been 100 years since blues master Robert Johnson was born, but there it is: Johnson's birthday is May 8, 1911. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was ranked fifth in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitar players of all time. (Not bad for someone who died in 1938.)
James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm and, oddly, Big Head Todd and the Monsters will all pay tribute to the legend on February 12 at the Uptown. It's called "Blues at the Crossroads: The Robert Johnson Centennial Concerts." And we're giving away tickets.

Blues at the crossroads honoring the man who wrote the song. Should be a great tribute with a lineup like that! Every blues fan needs to see this show. Big Head Todd, not as oddly as you think,,,I've seen them do some great blues. Don't miss this one!
The MidCoast Takeover team also has a pair of tickets to give away to the first person that pledges $50 to our Kickstarter effort to raise funds to send KC bands to SXSW.
