About this Event
Local Legend Rockers
Pat (Lamont) Hayes, with his brother Larry, founded Lamont Cranston in 1969. This Minneapolis-based band has a rich history in the music scene, having recorded 14 albums and written and produced a number of hit songs, including the chart topping "Upper Mississippi Shakedown." The Cranstons have shared bills with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Charles Brown, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Jonny Lang, Little Feat, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Animals II, Kansas, Yes, Bonnie Raitt, The Blues Brothers and many more. One of the biggest thrills was opening for The Rolling Stones on a leg of their North American tour in 1981. In 2010, the band was inducted into the Mid-America Music Hall Of Fame. The band has also been featured regularly on Dan Aykroyd’s House Of Blues Radio Show. In fact, Aykroyd (the original Blues Brother!) is quite fond of Cranston, proclaiming, “No one infects venues with the party virus quite like Pat Hayes and The Lamont Cranston Blues Band. They’ve always been my favorite.”
“It’s great to hear Lamont Cranston back on the scene. Pat Hayes plays some of the baddest harp and guitar around!" --Bonnie Raitt
