B.B. King- the master of the Blues will be shaking up The Temple Hoyne Buell Theater this Friday night! The Buell doesn’t normally house concerts- but when the King comes to town, seats sell out fast. What a great way to take in a sublime night of music, in plush velvet theater seats with two balconies and box seats all along the walls!
Hurry on down to shake your head in the rhythm and tap your toes to the beat of Mister B.B. King.
