About this Event
With hits like "Lay Down Sally," "Layla" and "Tears in Heaven," Eric Clapton is one of the most beloved performers of all time. Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Eric Clapton Story is a concert and talk celebrating his life and music, featuring renowned music historian Dr. Mike Daley on guitar and vocals, Selena Evangeline on guitar and vocals, Greg Wyard on bass and vocals, Adam Warner on drums and vocals, and Jill Daley on piano, organ and violin.
You'll learn about Eric's early years on the British blues scene cutting his teeth with the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluebreakers, and Cream, followed by the shape-shifting solo career that he has maintained to this day. He has redefined rock guitar and racked up an impressive roster of hits despite personal struggles; after overcoming crippling addictions he has prevailed as a beloved classic artist into the present. The latest in a monthly series that has included sold-out lecture-concerts on David Bowie, Billy Joel, Gordon Lightfoot, Tina Turner and the Beach Boys, Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Eric Clapton Story is a must-see for any music fan.
