John Lee Hooker, Jr. plays Iron Horse TONIGHT (Monday) at 7PM.

Okay, you say, Tim and Jeff, Jim and A.J., Loudon and Rufus and Martha, Woody and Arlo and Sara Lee, Hank and Hank Jr. and Hank Jr. Jr...but John Lee Hooker and John Lee Hooker, Jr.? Where the heck? Well have a seat blues curiosos. John Lee Hooker Jr. was born in Detroit with high octane gas guzzlin' Delta blues-filled blood running through his Motown veins. He should have stuck with that blood/petrol ratio but he did not. He toured with his father while in his teens,but his show at the Iron Horse on Monday might have never been possible had he not emerged from a dark period in his life that threatened to consume the very art and soul of his music. With the release of Blues with a Vengeance, Hooker Jr. finally makes peace with his demons and faces his destiny, but first... Northampton.
