Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore – Almost Acoustic Duo with Special Guest Lenny Kaye
City Winery NYC presents Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore – Almost Acoustic Duo with Special Guest Lenny Kaye live on Wednesday, April 29th, at 8:00 PM(opens in a new tab)! Roots music legends, the Grammy winning Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore, decided to join forces and play music together in 2017. Although Texas born Gilmore was twice named Country Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone, and California native Alvin first came to fame in the hard rocking rhythm and blues band The Blasters, they discovered that their musical roots in old blues and folk music are exactly the same.

"Americana legends" – Santa Cruz Sentinel
Since that discovery, Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore have recorded two critically acclaimed albums, TexiCali and Downey to Lubbock, and continued to tour, rocking the stage together with their band The Guilty Ones.

As they hit the road in 2026, this time they will bring you the Almost Acoustic Duo.

A show you won’t want to miss!
