The Sizzling Eggheads return to the ArtOrg 2008 Winter Concert Series with an evening of fun and music including a Hendrix Revival set. Several guitarists will be performing songs inspired by Jimi Hendrix. Jon Bjork, Steve Thommes, Peter Diggins and others will be sizzling! We have a call to the community for people who actually saw Jimi play in person to say some words–so far Susan Christie of EPIC Enterprises will be in attendance–she saw Jimi play back in Oakland, CA. Glassman Phil Daniel will start off the evening at 7:30 with a short set–don’t miss that! Doors open at 7:00 at the Upstairs of J. Grundy’s Rueb ‘N’ Stein and then we go for more music at The Contented Cow at 11pm.

The SIZZLING EGGHEADS regularly played Minneapolis’ top original music clubs in the late 80s and early 90s. See a way cool video of vintage Eggheads here! The improv rock trio headlined First Avenue and the Entry, the Cabooze, 400 Bar, the Uptown Bar & Grill, as well as the Lion’s Pause at St. Olaf and an exploration through Carleton’s Cave. Guitarist Peter Diggins was signed to IRS Records at the time, though no recordings have been released. Peter and bassist JIM ANTON recently played the 15th Annual Jimi Hendrix Tribute at the Cabooze, along with drummer Michael Bland (Prince, Mambo’s Combo, Soul Asylum), and decided to revive the Eggheads experience. Believe it or not, but Peter played with Yanni for a couple of years! Drummer for this gig will be BILLY THOMMES who has played with Jonny Lang, Renee Austin, Sue Foley, Indigenous, and Soul Asylum.

A special feature of this evening will be a JIMI HENDRIX tribute set, with several guitarists performing their favorite Hendrix tunes–THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL SLOTS AVAILABLE–SO TALK TO US IF YOU WANT TO PLAY!
