Cigar Box Guitar Scratch Off With Nathan James and Ben Rice – Nov. 9th

What could possibly be better than an adept guitarist working a slide on a cigar box guitar? How about two such masters working together? That is exactly what you’ll be hearing at The Lake Theatre & Café on Monday, November 9 as Nathan James and Ben Rice join together for what is sure to be a thrilling night of blues. And since both tend to use their own creations combining cigar box and washboards, the event will be known as a “Scratch Off” noting the distinct sound the instruments can produce.

Nathan James has long been known as one of the finest guitarists in California, having worked many years with James Harman, as an International Blues Challenge winning team with Ben Hernandez, and most recently with his own band The Rhythm Scratchers. Ben Rice, of course, is our own local young guitar slinger, multiple Muddy Award recipient, and the winner of the St Blues Guitar Award at the 2015 International Blues Challenge having reached the finals two straight years.

This not to miss show begins at 7:00 pm and admission is $10.00. The Lake Theatre & Café is located at 106 North State Street in Lake Oswego.
