Attention Music Lovers

ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett is returning to the states in the fall, this time with his 3-person "accoustic" band featuring keyboardist Roger King from his current rock lineup and John Hackett (of Steve's 70s and 80s bands) on flute.  This is a performance that really showcases the depth of his compositions of the last 30 years and isn't to be missed.

In the DC area, he'll be at the State Theatre in Falls Church on Wednesday October 12th.
