JOE ZOOK AND PAUL PLUMERI

OPENING ARTISTS: FRANK PINTO & RICHIE ZIEGLER

The return of Joe Zook and Paul Plumeri to Randy Now’s Man Cave is taking on a special, stripped-back dimension: this performance will be completely acoustic.

A Rare Unplugged Experience

While both Zook and Plumeri are legendary for their high-voltage electric "guitar battles" that helped define the Trenton blues scene, this acoustic setting offers fans a rare, "behind-the-curtain" look at their craft. Without the wall of amplifiers, the focus shifts to the intricate fingerpicking, the resonance of the hollow bodies, and the raw, unvarnished soul of their vocals.

• Intimacy Over Volume: The Man Cave’s cozy environment is tailor-made for an acoustic set. You won’t just hear the music; you’ll hear the stories between the songs and the subtle interplay of two masters who have been playing together for over 50 years.
• The Roots of the Blues: This format brings the music back to its delta and folk origins. Expect to hear everything from reimagined Hoochie Cooch classics to deep-cut blues standards, all delivered with the clarity and precision that only an unplugged session can provide.

Why You Shouldn't Miss It

In a world of over-produced tracks, an all-acoustic show by two Blues Hall of Famers is a masterclass in authenticity. It’s the sonic equivalent of a late-night porch session—warm, inviting, and technically brilliant.
