    Thanks to Bank of the James for sponsoring this show!

    Webb Wilder is an entertainer, that's for sure, and you know it, because you tend to come to his shows in force. Well now he's back at the Ellington and we know you will be, too!

    There are roots rockers, and then there's Webb Wilder.

    For over 20 years, Wilder has mined rock 'n' roll's most hallowed ground, but unlike so many others, he has approached it all with a rare irreverence and wit. His self-effacing persona-a tongue-in-cheek 1950's noir character, equal parts high school principal, tent preacher, and private detective-gives Wilder's music a sense of fun and imagination often lacking among his peers.

    Judging from Wilder's most recent release, the DVD "Tough it Out!" and live CD "Born to Be Wilder", a rocking time will be had by all (who attend their live shows).


    Here's what the critics have to say:
    "If Webb Wilder and his band are passing within 300 miles of your town, don't miss them!" - Vintage Guitar Magazine

    "(Webb) flat out rocks. They serve up potent Southern comfort." - Rolling Stone Magazine

    "There are no explosions, no video enhancements to a Webb Wilder show. Just lots and lots of authentic, gut level rock music. He's the last of the full grown men, and you don't question his genius." - Birmingham News

    "These days the term 'roots rocker' is almost meaningless, but Wilder's blend of a rocker's heart with a hillbilly's soul is probably the best aural definition of it yet." - Time Out Chicago
