At 42, Damon Fowler has already had more than 30 years of the blues.
Since he began playing guitar in his Brandon home at 10 years old, Fowler has progressed to become one of the Tampa Bay area and Central Florida’s most renowned blues-rock guitarists.
Fowler along with bassist Chuck Riley of Zephyrhills and drummer Jason Headley of Pensacola will bring the blues to Lakeland Live at 8 p.m. Friday, April 9. The show will showcase songs from Fowler’s CD “Alafia Moon,” and the Lakeland performance will also be the CD release party.
Recorded and mixed in 10 days at Largo’s Creative World Recording, Fowler said his eighth studio album on Landslide Records combines all the influences that have shaped his blues career. He also co-produced it along with producer George Harris, who has worked with Cheap Trick, Rick Derringer and Brian Johnson of AC/DC.
The pandemic may have ruined a lot of things, but Valentine s Day doesn t have to be one of them.
To combat the health risks associated with indoor dining and large crowds, the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority is hosting a weekend of events for you and your sweetheart, in addition to dining deals around town and a special Buena Market happening at Lakeland Live.
The event comes on the heels of the cancelation of First Fridays through April because of rising COVID-19 cases in the area. We tried to make it up with some things that still promote downtown and still encourage people to come downtown and eat and shop but not necessarily thousands of people all at once, Julie Townsend, executive director of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority, said.
