Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck performs at Sands Bethlehem Event Center on July 24
From a press release:
One of the most influential guitarists in music, Jeff Beck, helped shape the sounds of blues rock, psychedelia, and heavy metal, inspiring guitar players for decades with his unique style.
He returns to the Sands Bethlehem Event Center with a soon-to-be-added special guest on Sunday, July 24 at 7 p.m.
Tickets, which range from $80-$105, go on sale this Friday, March 18 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at sandseventcenter.com, the Event Center box office (77 Sands Blvd., Bethlehem), ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 800-745-3000.
While Beck’s groups may have been short-lived, the impact they made and his aggressive style, encompassing screaming, bent, sustained notes; distortion; feedback; and fast, crisply articulated passages, continues to influence and entice musicians and fans alike.
From his time with The Yardbirds through various incarnations of the Jeff Beck Group, and having performed and recorded with a who’s who of artists that include Mick Jagger, Malcolm McLaren, Roger Waters, and Jon Bon Jovi, Jeff Beck continues to leave his musical mark to this day.
A seven-time Grammy Award winner and a two-time member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a Yardbird and as a solo artist, Beck was ranked fifth on the list of “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine.
There is only one word to describe him – “legend.”
