Opening set: Dead Horses With the Blue Canvas Orchestra Considered a master among Texas music aficionados, blues
experts, and critics alike, McClinton is highly respected for

meld genres into his own style. With three Grammy awards,
Delbert McClinton and his band Self-Made Men, released
their newest recording, Prick Of The Litter in January. The
CD contains 12 new songs featuring the soulful blend of
blues, jazz, country and rock that has become synonymous
