Jackson Gore Features Last Summer Event Friday
submitted by Okemo Mountain Resort
LUDLOW, Vt. – The final performance of this season’s Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series is slated for Friday, August 31, with a free concert featuring The Larry Dougher Band.
With passion and reckless abandonment, Larry
Dougher’s guitar playing and singing never fails to leave a crowd exhilarated
and amazed.
His
live performances have gained Dougher a reputation among fans, musicians, and
critics for being a rising star on the blues horizon. Larry Dougher began
playing guitar at the age of 15. Although self-taught, he turned to such
"teachers" as Buddy Guy, Albert King, Muddy Waters, BB King, Jimmie Vaughan,
Magic Sam, Otis Rush and many others. Those influences shine through every time
Larry picks up a guitar. Backing up Larry on drums is veteran of the New England
music scene Bobby Gagnier. Bobby brings a wonderful range of versatility to the
band seamlessly moving between blues, R&B, rock-n-roll, and all the while
matching Dougher's energy and dynamics. Rounding out the trio on bass is Michael
Fralish, who moved to the New England area from Minnesota. Mike's youthful
energy and musicianship provides the backbone that is so important to a
top-notch blues trio. More information about the band an
