# Event Details

- **Event Name**: CURTIS SALGADO & ALAN HAGER LIVE AT THE OAST, RAINHAM
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: One of America's most celebrated blues voices comes to The Oast in Rainham, Kent for an intimate evening that strips the blues back to its raw, honest core.

**Curtis Salgado** is a genuine giant of the genre. A multi-Blues Music Award winner—including the coveted B.B. King Entertainer of the Year—NPR has called him simply "a blues icon" with a "huge voice." His incredible career stretches back to co-leading *The Robert Cray Band* and a legendary encounter with John Belushi that directly inspired the creation of *The Blues Brothers*. He has shared stages with Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Bobby Bland, and Bonnie Raitt, fronted *Roomful of Blues*, and released a string of acclaimed albums on Alligator Records, the world's most celebrated blues label.

Beside him is master guitarist **Alan Hager**—trained at Berklee under jazz legend Pat Metheny and later at the New England Conservatory. Hager is a player whose command of Delta blues, jazz, and classical guitar is simply unlike anyone else in the business, prompting Salgado to call him "the best player in the business."

Together as an acoustic duo, their decades of chemistry perfectly complement each other. This is an evening of real blues—voice, harmonica, and guitar. Nothing more needed.
