Liz Pennock and Dr. Blues to Perform the Blues at the Carrollwood Cultural Center May 1, 2015

Liz Pennock & Dr. Blues

...Boogieing into the Carrollwood Cultural Center!

The Carrollwood Cultural Center, located at 4537 Lowell Road in Tampa, (MAP) will host musicians Liz Pennock and Dr. Blues on Friday, May 1, 2015 at 8 p.m. The duo will perform classic, contemporary and original blues. The concert, which kicks-off the Center’s Summer Concert Series, will be their first appearance at the Carrollwood Cultural Center.

Piano player/singer Liz Pennock began performing professionally as a solo artist in 1975.  Undaunted by what might seem a limitation (Pennock was born minus two fingers on each hand) she has developed her own powerful ivory-tickling style.  Pennock’s songwriting ranges from the romantic “My Best Fan” to the rollicking “He Plays the Boogie.” 

Guitarist/vocalist Paul “Dr. Blues” Shambarger began his musical career as a drummer in the late 1960s.  He added guitar in the early 1970’s, then honed his slide dobro skills in the 1990s.  Doc’s witty lyrics can be heard in his crowd-pleasing favorites “Alimony Blues,” “Taxi Driving Woman” and “Cruel Jewel.”

Pennock and Shambarger met in 1981, married in 1983, and have been a nonstop creative team ever since. Their album Live From St. Pete (2003) contains eighteen live cuts- four covers and fourteen original songs.  Their latest CD, Boogie Woogie Staircase released in 2008, is a collection of 15 all new originals and features Mike Delaney playing sax.

The duo performed with legendary blues shouter Diamond Teeth Mary McClain from 1988 until 2000, when Mary died at age 97.  In 1993, they co-produced Mary’s critically-acclaimed debut CD, Walking Mary’s Blues, and accompanied her at the 1996 Chicago Blues Festival.  

Over the years, they have appeared with such artists as John Hammond, Diane Schuur, Carey Bell, Savoy Brown, Saffire: The Uppity Blues Women, Roy Book Binder, Bob Margolin, Pinetop Perkins and Leon Russell.

On August 2, 2008, Liz Pennock and Dr. Blues joined the likes of Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry’s piano player), Pinetop Perkins, Bob Seeley and Albert Ammons when they were inducted into the Boogie Woogie Piano Hall Of Fame in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Advanced TICKETS are $14 for members and $18 for non-members. Tickets purchased the day of the show are $2 more.  Tickets can be purchased at the box office, online at www.CarrollwoodCenter.org, or by calling (813)922-8167.
