Lancaster Roots and Blues 2018

The Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival 2018!
Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers brought the rumble to the beautiful Commonwealth Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel and Lancaster Convention Center as the Main Stage act of the Lancaster Roots and Blues Fest on Saturday night!

As a bonus, the concert was also provided to the general public via a live streaming channel!

Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers were one of my highlights from this year. They destroyed the rowdy crowd and one of my eardrums at Lancaster Roots and Blues.

Mark Keneally from Rockett 88 was a special guest during the TCYR concert and provided an impromptu blues jam with the boys. 

Lots of "old home week" touches to the bill at the festival--Billy Kemp (former Guitar Trouble-era Young Rumbler guitarist) was playing at the 26 East at Altana.

After the main concert, more concert action was happening at Tellus 360 where Dr. Harmonica and Rockett 88 also included special guests, Quentin Jones and Tommy Conwell!

Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers

If you went to see live music in the mid-Atlantic region in the late 80’s through the 90’s then you probably saw Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers. They were the preeminent bar band. So much so, they signed to Columbia Records and released a #1 hit with "I’m Not Your Man.”  

Tommy had a great run here in Lancaster, PA filling the Chameleon Club for many shows. High energy blues and rock with a fun band all centered around Tommy’s guitar and voice. As a cross between Bruce Springsteen and George Thorogood the band could flat out play. We are lucky to have them at Lancaster Roots and Blues for the 2nd time. 

Since the band rarely performs together this is a real treat. 

When: Saturday, March 10, 2018
Where: Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival - Lancaster, PA
Venue: Main Stage at Lancaster County Convention Center (Main)
