Sacramento-based rocking blues masters Rick Estrin & The Nightcats will celebrate the release of their new Alligator CD,
One Wrong Turn, with a live performance at the 30th Annual R&B Picnic in Morrisville on Saturday, July 21, 2012. Harmonica icon/vocalist/songwriter Rick Estrin, along with The Nightcats — jaw-dropping guitarist Chris “Kid" Andersen, singing drummer (who plays standing up) J. Hansen and dynamic multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Farrell (electric and acoustic bass, organ and piano) — serve up fresh and modern original blues injected with a solid dose of gritty roadhouse rock 'n' roll.
