piano playing hero Feb 10 at Slims
Ian McClagan has had a career as one of the most talented and storied sidemen in rock and roll. Having tickled the ivories on hits like Maggie May & Itchykoo Park, Ian McClagan has laid the frolic filled foundations for bluesy bar piano rockers everywhere... A key man in the seminal mod band Small Faces with Steve Marriott & later with Rod Stewart & The Faces, he's been in the eye of the rock n roll hurricane. He's made records with Thin Lizzy, Paul Westerberg, Bruce Springsteen, Chuck Berry, Hanoi Rocks, Warren Zevon and worked the stages with Billy Bragg, the Stones, Dylan, Bonnie Raitt and many others. His more low key solo career has had him releasing albums like ?Troublemaker? and ?Bump In The Night " and "Rise & Shine". His true calling is laying down rollicking riffs that mix all that's grand about rock, blues, pop and boogie woogie.
Now an amiable Austin TX resident, Ian has had what ya might call way too much fun with old pals like Keith Moon & Ron Wood during his outrageous career, and has shared his life in an autobiography called ?All The Rage.?
