Rufus Huff Concert To Benefit KRT April 21

An eclectic mix of rock, funk, blues, boogie and “Dixie” through a stack of Marshall amps will echo through Kentucky Repertory Theatre as Rufus Huff takes the stage April 21 at 7pm CDT.  The benefit concert is sponsored by Bluegrass Cellular and proceeds will aid the “Save A Kentucky Treasure” campaign to help ensure KRT’s 2009 season.

 Who’s Rufus Huff? Named after two obscure Blues men Whistlin’ Rufus and Luther Huff, the Glasgow, Kentucky-based Blues Rock quartet is made up of Dean Smith, Chris Hardesty, Jarrod England and Greg Martin, known for his raucous, incendiary electric guitar playing in the South’s hardest country rockers, The Kentucky HeadHunters.  Rufus Huff is steeped in the tradition of Cream, Jeff Beck, Free, Led Zeppelin, Mountain, Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies, Cactus, and ZZ Top!!!!

“Come and taste the rock n’ funk stew of Rufus Huff, sprinkled with just the right amount of Bar-B-Q grease. Have mercy childr’n!” says Libby Ellis, KRT Marketing Director.

Tickets for the concert are on sale now.  All seating is reserved and ticket prices are $10.00.  For more information or for ticket reservations contact the Kentucky Repertory Theatre box office at 800-342-2177.
