Jerry Lee Lewis To Perform Live At Jack White's Third Man Records In Nashville For Record Store Day On April 16, 2011

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Jerry Lee Lewis Official Website) Rock and country icon Jerry Lee Lewis will be performing a special one-off live concert on Saturday, April 16th at Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville, TN. Jack White will be producing the record, as he does with all the Third Man recordings. Lewis will be backed by a stellar band that includes Steve Cropper (guitarist of Booker T & The MGs and Stax catalogue acclaim,) Jim Keltner (drummer for all four Beatles' formative solo efforts, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and more) and Jack Lawrence (bassist for the Raconteurs, Greenhornes, Loretta Lynn and the Dead Weather.)

The show will be recorded direct to analog tape at the Third Man complex in downtown Nashville. Lewis' live show will then be pressed and packaged locally at United Record Pressing just down the street and will be sold at Third Man's retail outlet within weeks much like the spontaneity the music business had in Lewis' early career.

It has been over half a century since true American original Jerry Lee Lewis first rocketed to the top of America's pop, country and R&B charts with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire." While those iconoclastic performances still define the essence of rock "n' roll for millions, The Killer himself continues to thrill audiences around the world with his unique, scorching blend of rock, blues, country and gospel. Tickets for the Jerry Lee Third Man appearance will be $30 and they will go on sale today at the Third Man Record store at 613 Seventh Ave. in Nashville and on www.thirdmanrecords.com .

Doors for the Jerry Lee Lewis performance will open at 4 p.m. and the concert will begin at 5 p.m. The Record Store Day festivities will begin Saturday, April 16th at 11:30 a.m. with the Jerry Lee show closing out the day's festivities.
