The Mississippi Valley Blues Society and The Gypsy Highway present Rick Estrin & The Night Cats, honored as Blues Music Awards Band of the Year in 2018, 2021, and 2025, for a Sunday Funday performance. The concert is planned outdoors if the weather allows, with an indoor option if conditions change. Arriving early helps with seating, and lawn chairs are welcome for the grassy area near the stage. Admission is $15 at the door for Blues Society members and $20 for general admission. Fronted by harmonica player and vocalist Rick Estrin, the band draws on deep blues tradition with a modern spark. Estrin grew up in San Francisco, fell in love with the music after discovering Ray Charles and other greats, and was performing in city clubs by his late teens. Early experiences included jamming with Lowell Fulson and opening for Z.Z. Hill, followed by time in Chicago where he met Muddy Waters, who praised his sound. Back in the Bay Area he co-founded Little Charlie & The Nightcats, then launched Rick Estrin & The Nightcats with guitarist Kid Andersen after 2008. Influenced by Sonny Boy Williamson II, Little Walter, Percy Mayfield, and Baby Boy Warren, Estrin pairs inventive songwriting with sly, soulful vocals. Guitarist Kid Andersen, originally from Telemark, Norway, grew up devouring the work of Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Junior Watson, and the three Kings. By 18 he was backing visiting American blues artists in Norway, then moved to California at 21. After releasing four solo albums, he joined Charlie Musselwhite’s band in 2004 and later became a Nightcat. A multi-instrumentalist, producer, and engineer, he runs the acclaimed Greaseland Studio, recipient of the 2017 Keeping The Blues Alive Award, with credits that include projects for Tommy Castro, Nick Moss, John Németh, Wee Willie Walker, Finis Tasby, and all of the band’s albums. Keyboardist Lorenzo Farrell started piano at age five, discovered jazz in high school, and added upright bass to his toolkit. He studied Philosophy at UC Berkeley and explored religion in Delhi before returning to the Bay Area, where he became known for his work on piano and organ. A Nightcat since 2003, he has also performed or recorded with Wee Willie Walker, Elvin Bishop, Finis Tasby, Jackie Payne, Andy Santana, Terry Hanck, and Little Charlie Baty’s Organ Grinder Swing. Drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin brings a global touring résumé that includes 17 years with Little Richard. His work spans performances, production, songwriting, education, and a music lecture series called Drums & More. He has collaborated with Dorothy Moore, Bobby Rush, Vasti Jackson, Ali Ollie Woodson, Big Jack Johnson, Carla Thomas, Billy Preston, Roy Gaines, Mitch Woods, Jackie Payne, Syl Johnson, Bob Margolin, and Tutu Jones, adding a dynamic pulse to The Nightcats.
