There aren’t many early and original rock legends still standing, let alone performing. With the deaths of rockabilly giants Fats Domino and Chuck Berry this year, that leaves only two. Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis are the only members of the first Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction still alive. Little Richard announced his retirement in 2013, but while he may not tour anymore, he now openly focuses on his religious faith, and is back on the anti-homosexual side, of which he’s gone back and forth over the years. The Killer on the other hand, does not play back to back dates on back to back tours anymore, but he still plays a few shows a year.
The Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On singer will headline during the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. His date will be March 2, 2018 at 3:30pm. Tickets have not, to my knowledge, gone on sale yet, but will be priced at $30, plus admission to the festival. Lewis’ last time in Florida was six years ago in Naples, so even if you have to take a day off work, or leave early, now is the time to see the last of the rockabilly legends.
