Dr. John Coming to Ardmore Music Hall

Legendary bluesman and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dr. John is set to perform at the Ardmore Music Hall this month, as part of the venue’s Live from the Lot festival on July 19.

Currently touring in Europe, the 74-year-old New Orleans native, joined by his band, the Nite Trippers, will be returning to the United States in less than two weeks, with Ardmore’s outdoor festival scheduled to be their first stop.

Perhaps best known for his 1973 hit “Right Place Wrong Time,” Dr. John’s latest album, Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch, was released in August last year.

Joining him at the Live from the Lot Music Festival will be Led Zeppelin cover band Bustle In Your Hedgerow, Pink Talking Fish – a “mashup” tribute to Pink Floyd, the Talking Heads and Phish – and American Babies featuring Tom Hamilton. An indoor after party with Marco Benevento is slated for 9 p.m.

Doors are scheduled to open at 1:30 p.m.

Tickets, which cost $55 for general admission, can be purchased here. Tickets for children and teens 17 and under can be purchased at the door for $20. The Ardmore Music Hall is located at 23 E. Lancaster Avenue.
