We’re very excited to welcome Regina’s greatest guiatr player Mr. Jack Semple who will be paying tribute to the World’s greatest guitar player, B.B. King!

As much a fan of music as he is a maestro, Semple recently developed a complete concert of B.B. King’s material just before his biggest influence passed on to that great gig in the sky.

“In my opinion BB King was the greatest electric blues guitarist of all time,” Semple exclaims. “His ability to communicate emotionally with the audience through his guitar was unparalleled. I met him in 1995 and unlike other superstars was humble, patient and empathetic – his generosity was overwhelming. I try to follow his lead professionally.

His artistry as an improvising guitarist is of the same level as Charlie Parker, Joe Pass or Pat Matheny.

His ability to communicate emotionally with the audience through his guitar was unparalleled! I’ve been studying his guitar style and learning the depths of his musical phrasing.

To quote my wife who is a classical flute player , she said when hearing him for the first time “when he plays his guitar he might as well be talking”.
