Heavy Wrecker
& Friends
Tribute to Eric Clapton
Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 7:00PM
Join us on November 1 at 7:00, as Billy, Will, and Dustin—Heavy Wrecker—have done it again: they’ve once again assembled a fantastic ‘supergroup’ of local musicians and vocalists to pay tribute to Eric Clapton—the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—covering the great span of his music, both from his solo career and from his time in the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos.
Ever since the Led Zeppelin tribute the band organized in 2019—which was the most successful concert of purely local musicians since Screamin’ Freeman’s 24-hour Guinness World Record concert in 1999!—Billy Youngblood and his crew have led the community into a growing appreciation of the historic Lyric Theater by paying tribute to the musical craftsman who have shaped their playing and our culture as a whole. The music of Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Tom Petty has made for a unifying showcase of the talents of several local bands, and now Eric Clapton’s music will do the same. This promises to be another experience Harrison area music lovers will talk about for years, and one well worth coming from out of town to see. Tickets are on sale now!
Featuring fabulous musicians and vocalists such as Beci Coffey, Julianna Hamblin, Greg James, Billy Youngblood, Kent Coffey, Keith Lee, Dustin Witty, Joshua Still, and Will Youngblood, this is sure to be a night you won’t want to miss!
Julianna I would love to purchase 4 tickets early for the tribute to Eric Clapton as close to front and center as possible. I had failed to update my Membership but have corrected that. I am still unable to purchase tickets online. Please help me if you can
