Loren Barrigar and Special Guest Joe Whiting will perform Sunday, August 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. as part of the Summer Concert Series at the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum, 7606 North Ontario Street. Loren started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six, played the Chet Atkins hit “Yackety Axe” in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He went on to study with Jimmy Atkins (Chet’s brother) which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Since settling down in Central New York, he has been in constant demand as a studio musician.

Over his career, he fronted a rock band on RCA called Jukin’ Bone in the “70s; played the rock-’n’-roll revival circuit with Bobby Comstock; replaced Ronnie Dio in ELF; toured with Van Halen; recorded two classic blues albums and “Backbone Slip”; toured the world for three years with Savoy Brown; and received a Grammy Award nomination.
