Doors at 6; show at 7 p.m. Modesto blues band Big Earl and the Cryin' Shame is comprised of Eli Lester and Jason Finley sharing guitar duties with Randall Niemann on bass and Ian Stambaugh on drums. Fronted by blues singer "Big Earl" Matthews, the band has built their sound on a sturdy foundation of ‘50s Chicago style blues infused with infectious funk rhythms. This unique blend of classic styles has been filling dance floors since 2007. The boys independently released their first CD, "Low Cash Blues,” in October, 2011, and are gearing up for the release of their second CD recorded live at the Gallo Center in October of 2014 when they opened for BB King. They have also opened for Charlie Musselwhite, Chris Cain, Cafe R&B, John Nemeth, MoFo Party Band, Billy TK Jr, Greg “Fingers” Taylor and Mark Hummel. The show is a benefit for Center for Human Services’ Pathways and Hutton House programs. Pathways is a transitional living and supportive services program for young adults ages 18-21 who are experiencing homelessness. Hutton House temporarily shelters youth ages 13-17 who are in crisis.
