The ever-charming and British music legend Nick Lowe joins forces with Nashville-based luchador-masked surf rockers Los Straitjackets for a fun night of rock n roll. Lowe could hardly look less like a rock star - but don’t let appearances fool you. Beneath the snow-white hair and Buddy Holly specs lurks a consummate stage performer and Los Straitjackets seem to have re-ignited his love of rock & roll.
“I’ve always had a penchant for this kind of ‘rocking-hard-whilst-hardly rocking’ skiffle style of music,” Lowe tells NPR. “The difficulty nowadays is finding people who understand how to make it happen, because in the wrong hands it can easily turn into something that’s a whole lot less funny. I have to work quite hard to achieve it, but luckily Los Straitjackets are premier rock and roll entertainers to whom this phenomenon occurs naturally.”
