We are pleased to make this an annual concert fundraiser for The Sacramento Blues Society Little Charlie Baty Memorial Music Scholarship.*
One of the rare Sacramento live nightclub performances in 2025 for this internationally famous, world-traveling band! Sacramento’s own legendary Rick Estrin and the Nightcats travel the world, spreading the joy and power of their music. In 2024, they released THE HITS KEEP COMIN’ and received the coveted BLUES BLAST Band Of The Year Award, along with the award for Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year. MORE EXCITING GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED.
Larger-than-life blues star Rick Estrin has piloted the wildly fun and musically fearless Rick Estrin & The Nightcats for the last sixteen years, touring the world and proving night after night why they have a shelf full of awards. The limitless combined talents of blues harmonica virtuoso and sly, soulful singer Estrin, guitar mastermind Kid Andersen, keyboard wizard Lorenzo Farrell and endlessly creative drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin take Estrin’s inventive, original songs to new and unexpected places. On stage, the band’s ability to deliver an unpredictable, no-holds-barred show is unmatched.
“Hugely entertaining, intelligently conceived and executed roots rock with a wickedly cool and otherworldly twist on tradition. Estrin’s harp work is masterful.” –Living Blues
“Rick Estrin sings and writes songs like the brightest wiseguy in all of bluesland and blows harmonica as if he learned at the knee of Little Walter.” —DownBeat
*A portion of the net proceeds tonight will be donated to SBS’ newly created Little Charlie Baty Memorial Music Scholarship.
