After 18 months, the State Theatre will welcome the Craig Thatcher Band to kick off its 95th season on Sept. 10.

Craig Thatcher & Friends capture the spirit and sound of Eric Clapton’s music with a very broad retrospective, beginning with Clapton’s rise to fame as guitar-god in the Yardbirds, continuing on with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos and finally covering his various solo periods.

Native to the Lehigh Valley, Craig Thatcher Band has been entertaining audiences across the globe with their exciting brand of blues/rock music since 1993.

Show time is 7:30 p.m.

Tickets and memberships can be purchased 24 hours a day at www.statetheatre.org. For questions or to purchase through the box office, call 610-252-3132. Box office hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
