Buffalo, NY – It was an incredible midweek evening of rock and blues music in south Buffalo, when guitar legend and vocalist Pat Travers and his incredible band, consisting of former Pearl Jam drummer Dave Abbruzzese and bass player David Pastorius, performed a solid hard-hitting .
The 72-year-old was flawless all evening long during his epic and rocking 90-minute set. The nightclub, which was previously a commercial bank, provided the perfect intimate setting for the nearly sold-out audience. Backed by the powerful rhythm section of Abbruzzese and Pastorius, Travers delivered an energetic performance that showcased why he remains one of rock’s most respected guitarists more than five decades into his career.
Travers, who was born in Toronto, Ontario, released his debut album in 1976 and soon became one of the most respected artists in rock music. He scored a major FM radio hit with his remake of the blues classic “Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)” from his 1979 live album, ‘Live! Go for What You Know.’ Travers also served as the opening act on AC/DC’s 1979 North American ‘Highway to Hell’ tour, which would be AC/DC’s final North American tour with vocalist Bon Scott.
On this evening, Travers hit the stage at 8:15pm
