MORE CONCERT INFO:

Windsor's own BUS13 will open for Big Al. BUS13 is known for their blend of alt-rock, alt-country, and power-pop flare. BUS13 has released three independent albums including "Reflector" (2003), "Band Radio" (2005), and "Underground Parties and Other Fabulous Shoes" (2008).

BUS13 is inspired by a wide variety of artists including Jeff Tweedy/WILCO, Ryan Adams, Eagles, John Lennon, Neil Young and Hank Williams Sr.

Taking the stage following BUS13 is Windsor's own Big Al Anderson and the Balls. "BIG AL" ANDERSON is "300 Pounds Of Twangin' Steel & Sex Appeal!"

Alan Gordon Anderson grew up in Windsor. A former member of The Wild Weeds and NRBQ, Anderson is one of the most prolific songwriters in music today.

He's been called one of the greatest rock guitar players. Ever. Is he country or rock-n-roll? Both plus a healthy measure of blues, soul, and pop!
