The Bell Bottom Blues -The True Eric Clapton Experience @ Broad Brook Opera House
Mar 16 @ 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm

The Bell Bottom Blues -The True Eric Clapton Experience

Saturday, March 16, 2024 – 8:00 PM EST

The Bell Bottom Blues was formed in 2007 with the vision of providing an audience with a True Eric Clapton Experience. Through its evolution the band has been carefully constructed to create the essence of the Clapton sound, from his Guitar arrangements to his distinctive Vocal sound. This is what separates The Bell Bottom Blues from all others and makes us Unique in the market. We have been told time and time again by our Audiences and Fans that “they close their eyes during a show and could swear that they were actually at a Clapton concert. This is what we actually set out to achieve. Through each band members dedication, professionalism and hard work we have captured the sound and essence of the Master himself through his various stages, from Cream, the Dominoes through his entire solo career. Our EC, has captured his guitar styling and more importantly his exact vocal sound, which allows us to truly pay “Tribute” to this Rock and Blues Icon. Once again, our goal is to perform and allow our audiences to really feel like they are participating in an actual EC live event. There is No better satisfaction for us than seeing this actually occur and knowing we have achieved our goal. We have recently been endorsed by Bobby Whitlock, founder of Derek & The Dominos & Co writer with Clapton on the Layla Album.
