The Hook & Ladder Theater is very proud to present a very special concert event celebrating the 97 year-old birthday of legendary twin-city performer, James Samuel ‘Cornbread’ Harris Sr., his band of Friends and some very special guests!

**************************
Tapers notes: Always great seeing Cornbread, he's still going strong, sounding as good as ever. I would highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen him yet, make it a point to before it's too late. Not often you get to see a living legend at 97 still out there playing shows.
