Rhythm Bones Special Edition Saturday -Nov. 18th
This weekend The Rhythm Bones will be on a mini tour with some very bad cats! Guitarist Tim Betts has a long history of touring with CJ Chenier around the world on some of it’s biggest stages. He and drummer Chuck Cotton have played together for some 25 years in the Triad area. And it’s true, Tim is related to Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers.

Chuck has also toured extensively with former Muddy Waters guitarist Bob Margolin, who called Chuck “one of Greensboro’s natural treasures.” He is considered one of the finest blues drummers on the east coast, and has a rich history of playing and singing the blues around the world.

Saturday 11/18 @ 8pm they will play at The Rusty Nail and again on Sunday with The Rhythm Bones at their regular time slot from 3-6pm.
