It’s hard to say no to the band behind “Slow Ride” taking on some blues covers, but perhaps the main kicker behind Foghat’s latest album Sonic Mojo is the presence of the final compositions from Savoy Brown founder—and longtime friend of the band—Kim Simmonds, who died in 2022.

Two of the three tracks co-penned by the late blues legend have been present on the band’s current run of shows (which ran through Anna Maria Island back in January), and if that’s not enough for you, Cactus—featuring Vanilla Fudge drummer Carmine Appice—and guitar hero Pat Travers both share this multinational bill.

Tickets to see Foghat play Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall on Friday, June 7 are still available and start at $33.75.
