  • Guitarist Jeff Beck to Play at UPAC in October

    Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck will be playing at UPAC in Kingston on Oct. 13 at 7:30 P.M.

    Presented by the Bardavon, the guitarist returns to the region as part of his fall tour. Jeff Beck’s tour will begin at the end of Sept. in Austin, Texas, and end on Nov. 8 in Anaheim, California. The guitarist is fresh off a recent collaboration with actor Johnny Depp on their 13-track album, 18. 

    UPAC is located on Broadway in Kingston in the heart of the city. Originally known as The Broadway or Community Theatre, the venue hosts a variety of musical acts and is home to the Hudson Valley Philharmonic.

    Beck has long established himself as one of the most influential lead guitarists in the rock genre. Over the course of 50 years, he has played in multiple groups including The Yardbirds, and collaborated with talents such as Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Jon Bon Jovi, Stanley Clarke, and Joss Stone.

    Beck is known for his aggressive style as a guitarist and his releases have spanned across genres. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has earned immense critical acclaim throughout his career. In 2011, Beck won Grammy awards for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for “Hammerhead” and Best Pop Instrumental Performance for “Nessun Dorma”, off of his studio album, Emotion & Commotion.
