One of the highlights of the free summer music concert happens tonight at the Santa Monica Pier.
Longtime pier favorite and powerhouse blues singer Teresa James is the opening act of the Twlight Concert Series, held each Thursday at the pier.
The main show is Grammy award winning Delbert McClinton.
Music critics and Nashville scenester Michael McCall says, “Delbert’s raspy, ferocious voice carries in it the history of American popular music.”
McClinton won a Grammy for his duet with Bonnie Raitt from her “Luck of the Draw” album and has numerous song-writing credits on albums by Wynona Judd, Vince Gill and scores of others.
The music, performed on the beach next to the pier, begins at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m.
