Special Guest: Johnny Winter's guitarist and producer Paul Nelson Join us for a tribute to a blues great! Johnny Winter: Down & Dirty, the definitive, feature-length documentary by acclaimed Lemmy co-director and producer, Greg Olliver. Produced independently through Secret Weapon Films in NYC, director Greg Olliver was welcomed into the Johnny Winter family during the final two years of Johnny s life, capturing the making of his Grammy-winning Step Back (Best Blues Album, 2015), and traveling the world from Beaumont to Hong Kong. Winter continued to perform over 200 sold out shows a year until his death on tour in Switzerland in 2014. The result is an intimate portrait of Johnny and the blues ( "guitar is the only thing I was ever really great at" ); his childhood; friendship and loss (Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker); relationships (Janis Joplin and his current wife of over 20 years) and his crushing addiction to heroin and methadone. Learn first hand how his manager and band-mate Paul Nelson secretly weaned Johnny off a 30-year addiction. Concert Tickets $10
