Microwave Dave Gallaher & The Nukes Visit Gorham's Bluff on Sunday July 5



Want to know one of the best kept secrets in Alabama? Gorham's Bluff is one of the best Blues venues you'll ever set eyes on! Where else can you enjoy a bird's eye view of the expansive Tennessee River Valley as you tap your foot to the amped-up growl and grumble of some of Alabama's best Bluesmen and -women?

And here's another question: what better setting could you want to celebrate Fourth of July weekend than a bluffside summer afternoon dedicated to this unmistakably American art form? Ask and you shall receive. Huntsville's own Microwave Dave Gallaher & The Nukes will perform in the Gorham's Bluff Amphitheater on Sunday, July 5, at 3 p.m. (We'll go to the Meeting House if it rains.)

With nearly two decades of performances in the U.S and Europe and six albums (and counting), Microwave Dave & The Nukes have established a wide and devoted following for their distinctive Blues sound. After Dave's appearance with classical guitarist Phil Weaver last fall, Gorham's Bluff audiences have clamored to have him back, this time fully plugged in and ready to rock the Amphitheater! For tickets call (256) 451-ARTS (2787) ext. 42!

Event Info
When:
Sunday, July 5 at 3:00 p.m.
Where: Gorham's Bluff Amphitheater
