Belgian Bluesman at The Knick - July 22

Fri 22 Muzz Horn (aka "Geezer Young") with Wooly Mammoth Music starts 8:30p Tickets $10

Born in Pennsylvania and raised in Connecticut, Muzz Horn (aka “Geezer Young”) delivers a unique Mississippi Delta blues performed on an 8-string resonator guitar. From playing at CBGB’s Gallery with Tough Sheep in New York in the late 80s, to jamming with several of Belgium’s blues artists at the Blues Corner in Brussels through the 90s, Muzzy Horn's trademark sound has charmed a lot of people over the years, leading him to open for John Mayall in 2010 in Lessines.
