Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band
Lobero Theatre · presented by Earl Minnis
The sound originates from the uncanny knack to squeeze unheard of sounds out of the electric guitar with the blues, pop, R & B, country, gospel, western, hillbilly, and West Africa. That BFG down ‘n dirty growl is unmistakable heard on such hits as “La Grange,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Cheap Sunglasses.”
Chris “Whipper” Layton holds his remarkable standings as the drummer for Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble, along with “The Arc Angels” band, guitarist Kenny Shepherd, and now marking the cornerstone backbeat with Billy F Gibbons and “The BFG’s.”
Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin is a shining light of the Texas Blues scene. A master of the Hammond B3 organ, known for his collaborations with Texas guitar legends Billy F Gibbons & Jimmie Vaughan, Flanigin is infamously known throughout the Austin Blues scene. Flanigin has done n’ played ‘em all… from juke joints, Texas and beer joints, to Madison Square Garden and beyond.
