Billy F Gibbons at Avalon Theatre

Best known as the centerpiece to ZZ Top; Billy F Gibbons is widely regarded as one of the world's finest guitarists working in the blues-rock idiom. Instantly recognizable by his long beard and African headgear; he's an internationally recognized collector of guitars and cars, noted in the best-selling book, Rock + Roll Gearhead. 

His sound originates from the uncanny knack to squeeze unheard of sounds out of the electric guitar with the blues, pop, r&b, country, gospel, western, hillbilly and West Africa. That BFG down 'n dirty growl is unmistakable heard on such hits as "La Grange," "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Cheap Sunglasses". 

Billy's solo album releases, the Afro-Cuban flavored "Perfectamundo", the bluesy, "The Big Bad Blues", and the hard rockin, "Hardware" all represent what he refers to as the "Three T's": Tone, Taste and Tenacity. BFG is truly a highly regarded Renaissance man. 

Chris "Whipper" Layton holds his remarkable standings as the drummer for Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble, along with "The Arc Angels" band, guitarist Kenny Shepherd, and now marking the cornerstone backbeat with Billy F Gibbons and "The BFG's". 

Mike 'The Drifter' Flanigin is a shining light of the Texas Blues scene. A master of the Hammond 83 organ, known for his collaborations with Texas guitar legends Billy F Gibbons & Jimmie Vaughan, Flanigin is infamously known throughout the Austin Blues scene. Flanigin has done n' played 'em all...from juke joints, Texas and beer joints, to Madison Square Garden and beyond.
